Thanks for the help. Your solution worked in practice but I do still get an error prior to compiling. If I ignore the error and compile, though, it works.
But similarly, I want to be able to call functions that are in these different mxml files. So if I have an mxml file called navigation.mxml embedded in the master app file called master.mxml, how can I call master.mxml functions from navigation.mxml? Back from the flash days, I thought this would work: root.myFunction(); but it doesn't. I'm sure this problem is related to my earlier post, that's why I have it in the same thread. thanks, ryan --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "ryanharlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a simple enough question, I think.
