Thank you so much, Tracy. You last 3 posts have probably done more for me than the 100s of pages I've read over the last while. Very much appreciated! I like the idea of a trace in everything right now. I never even though of that. I used it in Flash all the time! "Undefined" is probably the most important word in my vocabulary:)
I have to get used to/figure out the Flex way of dealing with loadMovie type accessing in Flash - i.e., click button to change the movie loaded into your dummy clip. I need to do that with components loaded into modules, loaded into an app...or another module...or component...ad infinitum. Broadcaster/listener is something I really need to get my head around, too. What you just wrote will go a long way to solving these mysteries for me:) Shawn --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "get the tree selected items to pass over into the horizontallist item > renderer-thingamajig" > > > > Two ways.
