Yes, as long as the components are in scope and you have instantiated them using mxml tags, you can get a reference to them using the id property.
So you can say: button1.height = button1.height + 10; or whatever property you want to set. If you have instantiated them using AS addChild, it is a bit more difficult.

I am writing an application in which I have to change the height and width of the buttons and other elements in a VBox based on some user action. To do this, I have assigned id's like "button1", "button2" .. to the buttons, I want to modify when the user clicks on a button. I want to know if there is a method like getElementById(as in JS) in flex using which I can get the object reference given an ID. That way I hope to manipulate the buttons and many other elements on the screen easily. Any pointers are appreciated? Or is there a better way to do it? Thanks in advance, -S-
