You can access the public members of a component instantiated with an mxml tag by using the "id" property, which the compiler turns into an instance variable containing a reference to the component:
myComponentId.GetUserDataRequest.send(); Also you might want to look into using AsyncToken to associate a result with its send() call.

Main Application that has many Flex Components. I want to call a HTTPService from the main app page, I am not sure how to do this. I have tried GetUserDataRequest.send() but to no avail. <mx:HTTPService id="GetUserDataRequest" url="{getURL.PerformaGetUserData()}" /> I know that there is a way to call parent items parentDocument.xxxx but not sure of a way to call childDocuments. Again Thanks for all the help. Timgerr
