RE: [flexcoders] Flex Compenents, how to make them talk

If you have

 

    <Application>

        <MyContainer id="myContainer">

            <MyControl id="myControl"/>

        </myContainer>

    </Application>

 

then in the Application's <Script> you can simply refer to the
MyContainer instance as myContainer and to the MyControl instance as
myControl (NOT myContainer.myControl). 

 

In MyContainer's <Script> you can refer to the Application instance as
parentDocument or as Application.application.

 

In MyControls' <Script> you can refer to to the MyContainer instance as
parentDocument and to the Application instance as
parentDocument.parentDocument or as Application.application.

 

In general, you can access anything from anywhere.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Compenents, how to make them talk

 

I was wondering if I create a Flex Application and have 5 Flex
components that integrate within my Flex App, how can they all talk to
each other???? Since they do not know about each other till the swf
file is compiled, I am unable to have one component event trigger
something on another component because they dont know about each other.

Thanks for the help,
