I built a small app that has 4 screens and everything is working great. I
want to learn more about breaking up the views into different components
before I move on to mvc in Flex. My question is lets say I have my main
application and then each of my screens are views. In my main application I
You need to inject data from parents into children. If children need
to send data up the chain to parents, use a event. Thus, in the below
add a public variable client and set this upon creation like this
comp:MyPanel client={_client} ..
note its odd to name a publicly available variable
Thanks for the quick reply Douglas..
I know about the _ for private variables, I am just in the process of
breaking my app up. Am I doing things thre right way then ? I have an ojbect
that 3 of the 4 screens either need to read or update. Do I create a public
var and pass it around ?

Ok, I re wrote the 1st screen into a component. Here is the code for my
component. When a user selects a client from the data grid I want to
dispatch an event of clientSelected My question now is in my main app I
have the following code. How do I tell my main application to listen for
that event?
Hi Dan,

components that are executing dispatchEvent().
Something like this:
mx:Metadata

I agree with you but is there an easy way to do this without diving into a
framework right away? I understand frameworks in general but I am still
learning the ins and outs of Flex. I am just trying to go up the 45 degree
ramp instead of the 90 :)
THanks!
I seem to be in the minority opinion on
Any examples would be a big help!.

That is a ton of information Greg, thanks so much! I have viewed the Lynda
videos before so I guess its about time to revisit them. I think once I wrap
my head around how to move data around I will be ready to jump into a
framework, after that sky is the limit! Thanks again for the info..
Dan
