RE: [flexcoders] Accessing objects within objects within objects... ???

I'm assuming you mean that you have a TextInput on the canvas. So you have
something like this:
 
<mx:TabNavigator id="tabNav">
  <mx:Panel id="tab1_panel">
    <mx:Canvas id="myCanvas">
      <mx:TextInput id="myText"/>
    </mx:Canvas>
  </mx:Panel>
</mx:TabNavigator>
 
So, you can get to the text input from anywhere in the component like this:
 
this.myText.text = "some string";

I have a the following object hierarchy:

TabNavigator
tab1_panel (first tab in series of 4)
myCanvas (canvas in the first tab)
myText (text control within the above canvas)

How do I change the text value of myText in the above example?

Before I added the second canvas above (myCanvas), I could do the
following to change the text value: 
Object(tab1_-panel.getChildBy-Name("myText"-)).text = "Tony";

Thanks

Tony
