Thanks for the info. I won't need an example as your explanation has given me 
an insight. Very useful.

 Where navLabel is a tab string and newView is a UI component usually a 
 composite component 
 
 If you need a whitewashed code example let me know.

public function anotherMethod(myPanel:Panel):void

however nc is not myPanel.parent.

doing a trace, the navigatorContent is actually
the myPanel.parent.parent.parent

Is there not a property/method which gets me a reference to the element 
Parent

(a bit like addChild() / parent relationship)
