RE: [flexcoders] Re: accessing a different component once inside one of them
Ghislain,
There are a number of different ways of doing this, both covered in
"Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex". Crudely, you could
refer to mx.core.Application.application.vs1
(mx.core.Application.application is a static reference to the top-level
of your app).
Alternatively, you can pass a reference down to myComp1, eg:
: : :
And then declare in myComp1.mxml:
and then within myComp1.mxml, you can refer to parent.vs1
It's a matter of personal style which you choose ... as your application
scales, you'll likely require a strategy to manage location of all these
different view components.

How can I connect back to a another stack component in the main app...see
the code inside the function changeStack. The id called vsl is not
recognized.
Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Re: accessing a different component once inside one of them
What you are trying to do would not work as far I as know.
What you shoud be doing is creating an eventListener in myComp1 like
below.
[Event("changeSelection")]
Then pass that event to the main app using
dispatchEvent({type:"changeSelection", variables});
Your function changeStack should be in the mainApp.
In your main app, you should be able to consume this event.
Maybe there are better ways using delegates. But this should get you
started.
I suggest you read the "Developing Flex Applications" help doc.
