There is one other way to do the same. You can have a parentDocument property in your custom class and set that to the view as shown below
OverviewGraph.as public var parentDocument:*; trace(parentDocument._responseOverviewXML); Test.mxml [Bindable] public var _responseOverviewXML:String; [Bindable] public var _resultGraphXml:String; [Bindable] public var _rootEntityId:String var overview_obj:OverviewGraph=new OverviewGraph(); overview_obj.parentDocument = this; Thanks!
