Thanks everybody. all you guys are awesome. I was able to control the click events from my main application and was able to change the state of my main application pretty straight forward.
I very much followed this example from Abode and is the same as what bailey explained. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhel p.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000701.html yet again will all the interesting issues!.... this is possible if the popup(TitleWindow) is from the same .swf, but what if the popup window was a different .swf (i mean by saying a different 'html' pop up window and the .swf sitting inside it). Is there anything similar to addEventListener that I could use?
