Several ways.
Application.application gives a reference to the top-level application
document scope. So from inside C2, you would do somthing like:
var app:Application = Application.application;
var myXML:XML = app.c1.mySourceXml; //assumes the instance of component
C1 has an id="c1"
parentDocument gives a reference to the immediate parent document (use
with nested components)
Or, you can pass a reference to anything into any component.
<mx:Application....
<ns:C1 id="C1"
<ns:C2 refToC1="{C1}" ...
The above requires a public property on C2 named "refToC1".
