Accessing components in a module from my applciation

Question

Hey all, I have this simple module:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Module xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" implements="fo_ImoduleInterface">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.MenuBar;
public function test():String {
return "Test String";
public function getMenuBar():Array {
return myMenuBar.menus;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true" paddingTop="0"
paddingBottom="0">
<mx:MenuBar id="myMenuBar" labelField="@label">
<mx:XMLList>
<menuitem label="menu" >
<menuitem label="sub 1" />
<menuitem label="sub 1" />
</menuitem>
</mx:XMLList>
</mx:MenuBar>
</mx:ApplicationControlBar>
</mx:Module>
Now I want to access getMenuBar from my application to create
a 'general' menu in my main application (much like what OSX does).
I can successfully access the function test and get my test
string back, so I know my module is loaded (I can see it on the
screen to) but trying to get access to the component always fails.
What is the proper solution to let my main application access
a component in a module?

The way I would do it would be to create a interface and add
necessary APIs to it. Make the module implement the interface.
In the main app convert the module instance to the interface
and access things.
Isn't this what the module does???
see here : <mx:Module .....
implements="fo_ImoduleInterface">
fo_ImoduleInterface implements to correct function aswell,
it's created like this:
package
import flash.events.IEventDispatcher;
public interface fo_ImoduleInterface extends
IEventDispatcher {
function getMenuBar():Array;
