In a script I iterate through a collection, making new TileLists as we
go along. I name these tilelist's so I can access them later.
Snip #1
for (var i:int=0; i<dp.length;i++) {
                                        // First we make a new tabbar for the 
tiles
                                        var newTB:TabNavigator = new 
TabNavigator();
                                        newTB.id = 'tabnav'+ dp[i].id;
                                        newTB.percentWidth = 100;
                                        newTB.height = 200;
                                        // Then we make a canvas to hold the 
items
                                        var newCV:Canvas = new Canvas();
                                        newCV.id = 'canvas'+ dp[i].id;
                                        newCV.percentWidth = 100;
                                        newCV.label = dp[i].orgname;
                                        
                                        // Then we make a new TileList
                                        var newTL:TileList = new TileList();
                                        newTL.id = 'tilelist'+ dp[i].id;
                                        newTL.name = 'tilelist'+ dp[i].id;
                                        trace('create:tilelist'+ dp[i].id);
                                        newTL.percentWidth = 100;
                                        newTL.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory( 
projectTile );
                                        newTL.dataProvider = null;
                                                                                
                                        newCV.addChild( newTL );
                                        newTB.addChild( newCV );
                                        pageOverviewVBox.addChild( newTB );
                                        
                                        g_fileid = dp[i].id;
                                        ds_getpages.send();
                                        
                                }
// End snip #1

For each of these items, I call a httpservice to get the pages that
belong to that file (ds_getpages.send())

>From the data returned I can calculate the name of the tilelist where
I'd like to show the data. See Snip #2
{
                                var rawData:String = String(event.result);
                                var arr:Array = (JSON.decode(rawData) as Array);
                                var dp:ArrayCollection = new 
ArrayCollection(arr);
                                //projectPages = dp;
                                var fileid:int = dp[0].fileid;
                                trace( 'tilelist'+fileid as TileList);
                                //(('tilelist'+ fileid.toString()) as 
TileList).dataProvider = dp;
<- Fails with a NULL error, can't access a null object... 
                        }

So.. please help me out here - how can I access a object, which
name/id I know - I just cant figure this out. Propably doing this all
wrong - but this is what I could think up.

Thanks for your time (if you made it all the way down here)
