So things are half-working. I say half-working because they work but they give me an error when I compile.
switching a viewstack in the nested mxml app is done like this in my code: viewstack in main file is called "mainscreens" inside that viewstack are two <fr> tags so it looks like this: <mx:ViewStack id=mainScreens > <fr:appOne id="appOne" /> <fr:appTwo id="appTwo" /> </mx:ViewStack> If I try and change a viewstack that's in appOne, called 'myView', I do this (based on advice earlier in this thread): click = "mainScreens.myView.selectedChild = screen2;" If try to run this app I get an error that says: "1119:Access of possibly undefined property myView through a reference with static type mx.containers:ViewStack" BUT IT WORKS! If I ignore the error and run the app, the code works. ???? But I get the error every time I compile and I think it's messing up other things below it in the program. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Adnan Doric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It is better to dispatch events from your nested component and handle > them in your parent component. > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "ryanharlin" <ryanharlin@> wrote: > > > > Thanks for the help.
