If i understand correctly, off the top of my head you could do something
like:
//inside parent containing VS.
addEventListener("NextEvent", handleNext);
function handleNext(e:Event):void{
var c:MyFormComponent = e.currentTarget as MyFormComponent;
next(c);
}
function next(c:MyFormComponent){
//something.
myVs.selectedIndex < maxIndex ? myVs.selectedIndex++ : null ;
}
//inside child component within vs.
function handleClick(e:Event):void{
if (e.currentTarget == next)
dispatchEvent(new Event("NextEvent", true));
else
dispatchEvent(new Event("PreviousEvent", true));
}
<mx:Button id="next" label="Next" click="handleClick(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="back" label="Back" click="handleClick(event);"/>
HTH.
