RE: [flexcoders] Accessing Methods of a Custom Components

[Jim Hayes]

did you try container.getChildAt(index) e.g. hbox.getChildAt(2) to use your 
example ?

It may of course have other children, and you don't test type in your post, so 
maybe something like :

for (var i=0; i<hbox.numChildren;i++)
{
    if (hbox.getChildAt(i) is coptions)
    {
        hbox.getChildAt(i).visState();
    }
}

would prevent any errors you might be seeing.

but I think adding an event listener to each coptions instance would be a 
nicer, cleaner way to call that method...

Subject: [flexcoders] Accessing Methods of a Custom Components
 
Hi,

I made a custom component and I am populating an hbox with custom component
using actionscript.

so if 'coptions' is the custom component.. i am doing this

for (var i:int=0;i<10;i++){
var temp:coptions = new coptions();
hbox.addChild(temp);
}


now i can view the custom components within the hbox. but i have a public
function named 'visState' within the custom component "coption".

i want to call them through a button. How do i call them?

i tried calling like this ... hbox.getItemAt(2).visState();

but it didnt work.. i tried many other options... but none worked.. any clue
what should i be doing.. ?

also any insights on how to make global eventdispatchers..?

regards,
Varun
