Have the custom component dispatch an event, with a custom "type" name, and listen for it in the parent. There are several implementation options, such as allowing you to declare the handler function on the instantiating tag, and providing for using bubbling events.

I can't figure out how to make them communicate except for the parent making a new custom component and setting its properties. I'd like to get an event or a function call when the component is clicked (mouseDown). Thanks.
