Another convenient way to do a login is to use a modal popUp TitleWindow.

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. cheers, - shaun
