How would a child call a function in the parent though? Events don't seem (semantically) like the right thing because I basically just want to use a utility function defined in the parent. Like I have a function that I am using to format the dataTips of my charts in the child components, but dispatching an event every time I roll over a chart item seems a bit tedious and extreme.
Is there a better way or do I just need to get used to using events? I come from a Flash background and have not used events very much.
