Gordon,
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for to get the button to link to
the other child page. Thank you soooo much for posting that.
Doug,
I see what you are saying, but I'm so new to Flex and I didn't come
over from Flash Dev. so I'm really not that hip on ActionScript. If
someone could provide a little more assistance, that would be so
awesome.
Here is what I've gotten so far (and I'm not sure if any of it is
correct):
On JobSearch.mxml I set this up:
[Bindable]
public var job_id:Number = currentJob.job_id
(I'm hoping that'll assign the job_id variable the job_id of the
current selected job)
On Timeline3.mxml I set this up:
[Bindable]
public var job_id:Number
I am not sure how to use the DataBinding to hook up the two.
Thank you in advance for further assistance to us ignorant newb Flex
Coder posers. :-)

If the Button is in JobSearch.mxml, then "walking the DOM up" would
mean calling
parentDocument.preTrafficNav.selectedIndex = 1;
because the parentDocument of JobSearch is the app (or component)
containing it, which also contains the ViewStack preTrafficNav.

I'll agree that an event dispatching method is sort of the
"correct" way to go. But if you want a quick way that will work,
you could have a bindable public variable named job_id in both your
JobSearch and Timeline3 components and then use data binding to
bind the job_id in Timeline3 to the job_id in JobSearch. So that
way whenever it's updated in JobSearch it will get updated in
Timeline3.

There are a lot of ways to accomplish this, but the best practice
would be to fire off an event in JobSearch and have either Main
listen on it and call a fuction in timeline3 or use a central event
dispatcher and have timeline three listen for it directly.
But you could also use application.Application.timeline3.methodName
or walk the DOM up, but neither are really advised.

I've been looking all day and can't find a solution to this -
although I'm sure it's very simple.
I have a main application that I'm using a ViewStack in:
<mx:ViewStack id="preTrafficNav" width="100%" height="100%"
creationPolicy="all" x="10" y="90">
<v:JobSearch id="jobsearch" width="100%" height="100%"/>
<v:Timeline3 id="timeline3" width="98%" height="711"/>
</mx:ViewStack>
This works great. :-)
The JobSearch.mxml page has a button that when you click on it, I
want to take the job_id variable I've declared and pass it to the
Timeline3 page and have that page as the main page.
If I put the button on the main.mxml page, everything works fine
(except for passing the variable, but it will at least change the
page)... but if I put the button on the JobSearch.mxml page it
doesn't work. I guess I don't know the syntax for doing that.
If someone would help me with the syntax to link from one child to
another, when the children are their own mxml pages I would be soooo
appreciative.
Thanks!
April
