Would this work even for sending a variable from a component say called page001.mxml to navigation.mxml? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Gordon Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: how can I call master.mxml functions from navigation.mxml parentApplication.myFunction() Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ryanharlin Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 12:26 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: accessing nested objects... what am I missing?!?!

[flexcoders] Re: accessing nested objects... what am I missing?!?!
So things are half-working. I say half-working because they work but they give me an error when I compile. switching a viewstack in the nested mxml app is done like this in my code: viewstack in main file is called mainscreens inside that viewstack are two fr tags so it looks like this: mx:ViewStack id=mainScreens fr:appOne id=appOne / fr:appTwo id=appTwo / /mx:ViewStack If I try and change a viewstack that's in appOne, called 'myView', I do this (based on advice earlier in this thread): click = mainScreens.myView.selectedChild = screen2; If try to run this app I get an error that says: 1119:Access of possibly undefined property myView through a reference with static type mx.containers:ViewStack BUT IT WORKS! If I ignore the error and run the app, the code works. But I get the error every time I compile and I think it's messing up other things below it in the program. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Adnan Doric [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It is better to dispatch events from your nested component and handle them in your parent component. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, ryanharlin ryanharlin@ wrote: Thanks for the help.

It is better to dispatch events from your nested component and handle them in your parent component. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, ryanharlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the help.
