I don't know the name/id of the form itself, the hboxed and vboxes or
any container that it creates to layout exacly how i'd like to.
imagine you design a form on flex from the design view... with form,
hbox, canvas, panel, viewstacks and everything.
no imagine you doing this dynamically.
that's what my code does.
the problem is that i need to set some properties on the submit button
for example... i know that the submit button name/id is "sbtButton"
but i can't tell what is the name of his parents.
i know if it would be on stage just like when i first describe it
would be easy, just using this['sbtButton'] or just sbtButton once the
button is there and i don't have to worry about the parents or
children where it is. But apparently when you create it dynamically
this rule doesnt apply. You can't just use this['sbtButton'] and i
have no idea whatsoever how to deal with it.
getChildByName would help if i know it its parents... but i dont. So...

and you are trying to pull out one of the objects which you know the
name of/id but you dont know the name/id of the form itself?
