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: Main.mxml <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> Then I have JobSearch.mxml <action script stuff> <mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%" id="vbox1"> <mx:HBox width="100%" x="10" y="90"> <mx:Label text="Job:" fontSize="14" fontWeight="bold"/> <mx:Label text="{currentJob.job_title}" fontSize="14" id="lblJobName"/> <mx:Spacer width="80%"/> <mx:Button label="Select" id="btnSelect0" click="<what goes here??? help!!!>" right="348" bottom="10" height="34"/> </mx:HBox> <mx:DataGrid id="jobList_dg" width="99%" height="90%"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Job Code" dataField="job_code" width="100"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Description" dataField="job_title" /> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Concept Date" dataField="conceptDate" width="100"/> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> </mx:VBox> The JobSearch.mxml page has a button that when you click on it, I want to take the job_id variable (currentJob.job_id) I've declared and pass it to the Timeline3 page and have that page appear. I'm very new to flex, I don't know a lot of the syntax and I'm having a lot of trouble getting started. 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
