Access a component in an mxml file from a different mxml file

Question

Hi,
I want to access a component in an mxml file 1 such as this one  <mx:Image id="img" width="101" height="200" source="{product.image}"/> using the
id
from the actionscript function from a different mxml file 2
public function init():void
       HERE.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag );    
so i can make it dragable, Please help me  in this if u can urgently!!!!

Answer 1

okay,
I have the image component in ProductCatalogThumbnail.mxml, which has an id of "img"
so, i created a public variable in the file and a public function that returns the value of the object.
public var imagecopy:Object;
        [Bindable]
         public function imagecopyfunction():Object{
         imagecopy  = img;
         return imagecopy;
now, I want to access this image in the mxml file ProductList.mxml in a function
  public function init():void
      ProductCatalogThumbnail.imagecopy.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag );
     // accepting a drag/drop operation...
       this.area.addEventListener( DragEvent.DRAG_ENTER, acceptDrop );
       // handling the drop...
      //this.area.addEventListener( DragEvent.DRAG_DROP, handleDrop );
I tried to use the variable, and then i tried to use the function:
I got this error when I tried the variable : 1119: Access of possibly undefined property imagecopy through a reference with static type Class.
ProductCatalogThumbnail.imagecopy.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag );
and this error when i tried the function:  1061: Call to a possibly undefined method imagecopyfunction through a reference with static type Class.
ProductCatalogThumbnail.imagecopyfunction().addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag );
i made sure i imported ProductCatalogThumbnail file in the beginning of my application.
I am not sure what went wrong.
