RE: [flexcoders] Accessing methods in nested components

[Tracy Spratt]

Your theory looks ok.   Can you successfully access anything in the main application scope using parentDocument?   If not, try using Application.application instead.   Once you can hit the application level members, work your way down to whre you need to be.   Tracy   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Pascal Schrafl Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 7:26 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Accessing methods in nested components   Hi all, I'm new to Flex but used OpenLaszlo before. I must now build an application to use with Zinc for my studies and as OpenLaszlo is not supported by Zinc, I decided to use Flex 2. I have several components and would like to call some methods in other components. Here's my application structure: main Application <component: login> which is a panel <component: filenet> which is a canvas within the filenet component I have several different components: <component: sidebar> which is a accordion. within the sidebar, there is a component called: <component: addressBookTab> which is a canvas and in this component there is an other component called: <component: addressBook> which is a canvas in the addressBook component, I want to call a HTTPService, but I must call it, after the user has authenticated himself (using the login component). I use the getAddressBookEntries() Function to call the HTTPService. I therefore have a function, that handles the login. If the server gives back a true, then I would like to call the HTTPService and load the user specific data. I use the following command: parentDocument.filenet.sidebar.addressbookTab.addressBook.getAddressBookEntries(); I use the parentDocument property to get out of the login component and then try to go all the way down to the addressBook component and call the appropriate function. Unfortunately, I don't have any success, as the method doesn't get called. Am I doing something wrong? There must be some way to call a method from a component within an other component. Perhaps I use to many components, and this causes the error? I have ensured, that all id's assigned are unique within the whole application. I hope you can help me solve this problem. If it is useful to post the source code, just let me know. Thanks a lot for your help.
