The example I gave you is what I wish to achieve. I am not sure how to handle this in single application. I am new to flex.
Business reason: I have one page where I have one form. User fills this information and press one button (button1). He is taken to another page (Page1) where he fills another form. Some information from first page is used in the next page- Page 1. If user had pressed button2 then he would have been taken to page2. All the pages currently are separate applications. As suggested by you guys I am trying to make modules out of it and then load/unload modules as the button is clicked. Problem is that the pages are not part of main application so I made main application as module too and loaded it as default. Now on clicking button 1 I want to unload main module and load another module which is another page.

I'm trying to understand exactly why you need separate swfs. What you're trying to achieve, as far as I can tell, sounds like it can all be handled in one single application.

But I am not able to understand how to load/unload various modules. To put it in perspective: My main application has a button which when pressed takes me to another application which has another button which pressed takes me to 3rd application. If I make all of them modules and load the main application and on pressing the button I should be able to load the second swf file and unload the main application. And so forth.. Can you please give some examples to how to do this? I am attaching my 2 application which I attached before and my requirement is when I add text on the text box in Hello1.mxml and click the "click me" button Hello2.mxml is shown and the text box in Hello2 contains the text from the Hello1.mxml text box. I don't need Hello1 to be shown so I guess I need to unload it. I am not sure.

I would recomend you to manipulate those swf files as flex modules instead of put all of them in yout html. That way you can easily send/receive data between them AND have the advantage to load them just when you need it, what does not happens when you put all together in your html file.

One of them is main.swf which has few text boxes and buttons. On clicking button 1 hello2. swf is loaded and it access all the information from main.swf and similarly on clicking button2 another swf file hello2.swf is loadead and so forth. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Nate Beck Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 3:58 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Using view stack to link to mxml Okay, so just to clarify. You're wanting to communicate from one application to another application? They are completely different swf files? Like this? Example HTML page: <html> <head><title>Testing Flex</title></head> <body> <object id="Hello1" width="300" height="200"> <param name="movie" value="Hello1.swf" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <embed src="Hello1.swf" width="300" height="200" name="Hello1" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> </embed> </object> <object id="Hello2" width="300" height="200"> <param name="movie" value="Hello2.swf" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <embed src="Hello2.swf" width="300" height="200" name="Hello2" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> </embed> </object> </body> </html> On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 3:43 PM, Pankaj Arora <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: I am sorry I dint explain it well.

You could either load a Component (compiled into your swf) or a Module (compiled separate from your application). >From how I read it, this sounds like you're trying to load one MXML swf inside of another application. One of the easiest ways to do this would be through using Flex Modules (mx:Module). More information would we useful.

Note that pressing any button pass on data from abc.mxml to 1.mxml and 2.mxml. Any ideas how it can be done. I think viewstack can be one way but any examples will be appreciated. -- /** * Pedro Sena * Systems Architect * Sun Certified Java Programmer * Sun Certified Web Component Developer * * Net Sar * www.netsar.com.br <http://www.netsar.com.br> */
