Hi Ciarán
Thanks for your answer.
I can see your point, so I'll try to illustrate what I'm doing and
trying to achieve:
In the application, I have a <mx:tile id="tile1"/>
In a HTTPService Result Handler, I loop through the result and add a
component (spreadView) to tile1.
Now each component (spreadView) has a function that will add children
til it (see below function pageHandler)
I have clipped alot of var's etc from the code, to save some space -
and it's still quite messy, so please bear with me.
Again : Basicly I need to access a childObject of a childObject in a
Tile - Have been looking at rawchildren, which doesn't really bring me
anywhere, propably wrong usage !!
Any helpers is greatly appreciated, it might (obviously) also be, that
I am doint his all wrong, should I avoid using a Component, and
instead "build" each component in AS ?
Thanks for your time!
Best regards,
Mark

private function pageHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
tile1.removeAllChildren();
if (event.result.action.pageset is ObjectProxy) {
pages.addItem( event.result.action.pageset ) ;
} else {
pages = event.result.action.pageset;
}
for (var i:int=0;i<pages.length;i++){
//trace( pages[i].left.page.pageid );
newspread = new SpreadView();
newspread.leftPageID =
pages[i].left.page.pageid;
newspread.rightPageID =
pages[i].right.page.pageid;
tile1.addChild(newspread);
}
