You can call getChildAt(i) on a container to get its ith child (where the first child is i = 0, not i = 1), regardless of whether the children were declared at compile time or added at run time. So one way to access the first child in the scripts of any child is as parent.getChildAt(0).
It's unusual for one of an arbitrary number of children to need to access a single sibling. Are you sure you don't want to be doing something like dispatching an event from one child that all the children listen for?

These children are: child1, child2, child3. How can I refer to child1 from the inside of child3? Is there something like child3.parent.child1 avaialble? --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Gordon Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I want to know objDG > > > > Sorry, that doesn't make sense. objDG isn't the name of the DataGrid, > it's the name of a variable that points to a DataGrid instance.
