The way I did this (and it's probably not the most efficient) was this: - User clicked a button inside the mx:component tag. - The click call passed a reference to the VBox container to the outer document function. - In the outer document function, I'd use the reference like this:
var vb:VBox = vbox; // vbox is the reference to object in component var text:TextInput = vb.getChildAt(2) as TextInput; I wish there was a cleaner way, like setting an ID on the mx:component tag and then referencing its children. But I think the component is treated as a different class altogether. - Alex --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, dnk <d.k.emailli...@...> wrote: > > Is there something the opposite of outterDocument to access vars and > methods inside of a mx:component tag? > > or is it as simple as (no where near my flex machine): > > <mx:Component id="something"> > > <custom:mycomp /> > > </mx:Component> > > > <script> > > something.mymethod; > > > > > Thanks! > > d >
