Calling methods in embedded SWF

Question

In an AIR application, I embed other Flex apps [SWFs] as part
of the main AIR app.
Embedding works like a charm, but I need to interact between
the master and the (generic) slaves [the embedded SWFs].
As far as I understand the docs, master and client can't
exchange methods. Do I understand the docs correctly?
If master and client can't exchange methods, I may provide
two bindable properties in the client:
quote:
[Bindable]
public var inChannel:*;
[Bindable]
public var outChannel:*;
In case the master wants the client to perform an action, I
assign the client's inChannel, which in turn fires a handler inside
the client. If the client finished its work, it in turn assigns a
return value to outChannel. This then fires a handler in the
master.
Any ideas, if this strategy is OK? Or should I manage this
situation in some other way?
Thx,
Stefan
