If the Button is in JobSearch.mxml, then "walking the DOM up" would mean
calling
parentDocument.preTrafficNav.selectedIndex = 1;
because the parentDocument of JobSearch is the app (or component)
containing it, which also contains the ViewStack preTrafficNav.

I'll agree that an event dispatching method is sort of the "correct" way
to go. But if you want a quick way that will work, you could have a
bindable public variable named job_id in both your JobSearch and
Timeline3 components and then use data binding to bind the job_id in
Timeline3 to the job_id in JobSearch. So that way whenever it's updated
in JobSearch it will get updated in Timeline3.

dispatcher and have timeline three listen for it directly.
But you could also use
application.Application.timeline3.methodName or walk the DOM up, but
neither are really advised.

I've been looking all day and can't find a solution to this -
although I'm sure it's very simple.
I have a main application that I'm using a ViewStack in:
<mx:ViewStack id="preTrafficNav" width="100%" height="100%"
creationPolicy="all" x="10" y="90">
<v:JobSearch id="jobsearch" width="100%" height="100%"/>
<v:Timeline3 id="timeline3" width="98%" height="711"/>
</mx:ViewStack>
This works great. :-)
The JobSearch.mxml page has a button that when you click on it,
I
want to take the job_id variable I've declared and pass it to
the
Timeline3 page and have that page as the main page.
If I put the button on the main.mxml page, everything works fine
(except for passing the variable, but it will at least change
the
page)... but if I put the button on the JobSearch.mxml page it
doesn't work. I guess I don't know the syntax for doing that.
If someone would help me with the syntax to link from one child
to
another, when the children are their own mxml pages I would be
soooo
appreciative.
Thanks!
April
