That could work if we would talk about just the staging. Like i said i
just did it to ilustrate.
In my example i create the hole form, a lot of objects inside hboxes
and vboxes so it's kind hard to tell which object i'm trying to get.
check the example below...
i know if i would do this['myCanvas'].getChildByName('myTextArea')
would work but IF i didnt know what is the name o "myCanvas" how would
u do?!
we are getting close... thanks for all your help! :P
