You have several options. Perhaps the simplest is to declare public var userid:String;
in your Application. The login popup can then access this var as Application.application.userid and set it. Other possibilities include a LoginInfo class with static vars (so that any code can just access LoginInfo.userid) or a LoginInfo instance attached to your application (so that any code can reference Application.application.loginInfo.userid).

For example, I have an application that uses a pop-up login window to control access to the application. The user supplies userid, password and role. When the user is authenticated, the pop-up closes and a viewstack is displayed based on the results of the role selected in the pop-up. All that works just fine. Now, I want to display the userid in the components within the viewstack. For example I want to display a welcome message based on the userid. I cant seem to figure out how to do this. Any help would be appreciated. lee
