I have a component that displays a form (currently in selectedIndex 0), from this component I want the click to send me to ViewStack.selectedIndex 1. Is there something like parent.selectedIndex? Access the ViewStack (that contains the component as one of its children) directly from the component doesnt work. <mx:Button label="Button" click="myVS.selectedIndex='1';"/> How would I do that?
