Ah! so that's like a global variable(s) then. That's perfect and fits 100%. Thanks SO much! Scott

Store info you need to persist in a data model class instead of worrying about
persisting UI classes.

Subject: [flexcoders] Accessing information in a class
I've been playing around with this a few days now and I think I understand that
just because I make a call to a class, it doesn't necessarily mean that it goes
out to the remote object unless I send() or call(). (I guess it would be
similar to posting information in HTML/CFML so that makes sense).
I'm not sure if I'm structuring this program right as I go down this path so I
just wanted to bounce the structure off all of you.
Main.mxml has several classes attached to it. Each class (.mxml file) is a
different component on the website. For instance I have a login class that
displays either a login button, login name/password, or a "you are logged in as
..." screen depending on the state of that object. I've got other components
that I'm working on as well that are similar in nature. This is all pretty
simple/easy...
Now for the somewhat questionable piece...
I'm not sure if the classes are persistent. When they are created, do they
stay active and keep the data in them? For instance, I want to provide tools
to people that have different levels of security. If they have the "admin"
role then it might show an edit tab on one of the objects on the screen, etc...
So in other words, I need to check the login class to see if they have admin as
a role. (or is there a better way?) When I use the login class to log the user
in, I pull a list of roles back so it's in the class at that point in time.
However, when I'm watching the debugger it looks like that variable scope
dissapears when it leaves the class. If I create a link in two different
classes to the same class (say login), are they accessing the same class or are
they each accessing their own copy of the class?
TIA
