Hi,
before going further, for next questions please try to shrink to the minimun
expression since this kind of long question are hard to follow.
About how to solve your problem. I think best way is to use events:
1 - In your inner component (in your case your login form) you can have a
button that create an event:
```mxml
<j:Button click="sendSomeEvent();" text="send event"/>
````
and
```as3
private function sendSomeEvent():void {
var e:Event = new Event('MY_EVENT');
dispatchEvent(e);
}
```
then in your main component you must listen for that event.
Let's say that your login form has a `localID="myloginForm"`
```as3
myloginForm.addEventListener('MY_EVENT', myEventHandler);
```
then you have the event handler:
```as3
public function myEventHandler(e:Event):void
{
trace("do something");
}
```
another way to solve with events is to use `bubbling events` adding `true`
as the second param in the event `var e:Event = new Event('MY_EVENT', true);`,
then this event will bubble over the DOM to reach the main component and you
can just listen `addEventListener('MY_EVENT', myEventHandler);` (without using
`myloginForm`)
