DOH! Sorry about that... assumptions can get you every time!
Thanks, I just pulled that up in livedocs; I'll read more about it now.

I "discovered" its benefits only recently, and it is quite simple to implement and very, very convenient. I know there are several examples in the archives. I am a guy, by the way.

In all my different iterations of code I believe what Tracy is saying is probably the best way to go. She also said basically the same thing to me. Either set up an Application.application or a data model (which is what I'm doing). Either can be bindable so that you can trigger events in the other objects based on data changing. sj ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Tracy Spratt Sent: Tue 7/15/2008 12:22 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: {Disarmed} RE: [flexcoders] Accessing public function from a different mxml Work expressions like this one step at at time. Also, Application.application will resolve to the top-level application, which might ease the expression. Events are also a good way to effect change in distant components.
