Hi Tracy, Thanks for replying.
Yes, my mxml are in different files. I should prob have said this earlier -- my canvases are done using the code behind pattern, so I have a mxml for each canvas, and behind it is an .as that extends Canvas. Perhaps I should have specified more. For this example, say there is a datagrid with a bunch of user information. when you click on a row / user, a new canvas is selected in the viewstack w/ more user detailed information. Like I said, currently I'm using a Local Shared Obj...what is your recommended way?
