Hmm? Lets be clear on our language then. A "Flex Component" has two states of being, the class, as implemented either in mxml or AS, and the "instance", which is what you get when you do:
<my:CustomComponent ..../> Or: new CustomComponent(); It is easy to put an id on a Flex component instantiated in the first manner: <my:CustomComponent id="myComp"..../> And you can then access any public member in MyComponent instance like: myComp.myMember It is a bit harder if you ar instanitating the components manually. Or are you using the term, "Flex Component" in a different way?
