Yes, your function must be public, and then you can use outerDocument. convertEmailToMailto() to call it.

You have one component trying to talk to another component but it can't because the function is private to the first component. One fix is to make the function public so that other components can invoke it. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , Adrian Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Tracy, > > Thanks for the help!!
