You can access properties and methods declared in your <mx:Application> script from component scripts like this: MyApp(parentApplication).someData MyApp(parentApplication).doSomething() Many people would say this isn't good architecture, but others find it useful for simple projects. - Gordon

Even if your app is small, now, you could at least benefit from seeing a directory structure and 'componentized' code. Check out http://www.cairngormdocs.org/ <http://www.cairngormdocs.org/> there is at least one example app there.

I've done many of the basic tutorials, I have a pretty good idea on how to create simple flex projects. I am now trying to design a real, functioning project based on one of our most important, internal, web applications. I find myself a little over my head. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am building what is basically a calendar of events. I'm currently using flash remoting to pull the event data with ColdFusion from a database. I will have to main 'views' to start with. One is a full calendar display of all the events for a month. The second is a drill down that will display all the details of an individual event, with a panel on the left displaying other events on the same date. I've built most of the pieces of this, but I'm having trouble putting it together in a manageable layout. To date, I've pretty much put everything into a single MXML file but this is getting quite unwieldy. However when I try to pull pieces out into custom controls I start having great difficulty dealing with the data and the various view pieces. So, one has managed to wade through all that exposition, what is a good way to do this? Where do I put the data access logic. I presume in my root application file. But, if I do that, how do I access it from my various view pieces? How do I connect all the dots? -- Douglas Knudsen http://www.cubicleman.com <http://www.cubicleman.com> this is my signature, like it?
