Hmmm... Have you tried something like this:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
//call this on application creationComplete(or when ever after that)
private function creationISComplete(e:Event):void{
//foo is in essence a class with the method setTempMethod()
foo.setTempMethod()
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<c:MyComponent id="foo"/>
