But I still have a problem calling a public method in Login from
MainBox. Because MainBox is in a different branch of the tree, it
can't see Login without some convoluted getChildAt().getChildAt(),
and so on.
Just to clarify, my diagram didn't come through. Application has a
ViewStack, which has SplashBox and MainBox. SplashBox has a VBox
which has an Accordion, which has LoginBox and CreateAccountBox.
This code worked in the Application:
var vbox:UIComponent = splashBox.getChildAt(0) as UIComponent;
var accord:UIComponent = vbox.getChildAt(3) as UIComponent;
var loginBox = accord.getChildAt(0);
loginBox.clearFields(e);
But again, it seems inelegant, and not very robust if I have to
change the structure later.
Thanks,
LG
