Thanks for responding Hasan! ;) I have been through a lot of those VERY helpful tutorials but for some reason can't find the answer to my very (seemingly) basic problem. I'll bet it is right under my nose, but I would very much appreciate a little direction from any Flex Gurus out there. :)
Is there a quick example anyone can provide on how I can access a textinput component value (or any other one for that matter) from within an external class? Perhaps even a specific tutorial somewhere that deals with just this sort of issue?
