Interfaces, and events. Dialogs should implement an interface of properties and methods and dispatch events when things change

For example, I have a TextBoxDialogBox that will ask the user for text input and then place that input into a TextInput control in the caller window. Similarly I have a CheckBoxDialogBox that asks for yes/no input and then places that input into CheckBox control in the caller window. I'm finding that I'm writing the same code over-and-over to handle each variation. For example, I need to declare and set different variables depending on the type of pop-up, as such: var popupTextBoxReturnControl:TextInput; var popupCheckBoxReturnControl:CheckBox; And then I have a set of very similar functions that will set the return value. For example: popupTextBoxCallerReturn.text = popupTextBoxReturnControl.text //OR popupCheckBoxCallerReturn.selected = popupCheckBoxReturnControl.selected I want to be able to condense the code down so that a variable for just one control is needed - perhaps using IFlexDisplayObject. But when I try to do this I get the error "1119: Access of possibly undefined property text through a reference with static type mx.core:IFlexDisplayObject." Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can condense a dozen virtually identical functions down into a couple more general purpose functions? Thanks in advance!
