Tabs that haven't been looked at don't have their children created yet for performance reasons. I think many folks use a pull-down strategy. You keep a central notion of what the current item is and each view widget binds to it.

I have a layout of data seperated into 4 tabs. The first three hold different sections of data for the same product. All product data is recieved from the CFC and stored as an ArrayCollection. The fourth tab contains a TileList that is populated from that ArrayCollection. When an item is selected on tab 4, I want it to update the fields on the other 3 tabs. When I had everything on one tab, this was working fine. After seperating it into 3 tabs, I started getting errors. I started removing set statements from the function and was able to discover that if I only tried to set the text value of fields in first tab in the stack, it worked fine. If I changed the order of the stack and tried to update those fields instead, they would update fine. So what am I missing? how do I get it to update the fields in tabs other than the top one in the stack? Thanks.
