Cannot dynamically add actionlistener to Tab or TabSet

Question

Hello,
I have a custom component that must create a Tabbed look. I'm using the Studio Creator TabSet with Tabs. I cannot for the life of me get it to register and use an actionListener. I've done this with other components, but this plain doesn't work (for me). Has anyone been able to use it this way? I've tried numerous approaches and here is the one that's worked for me in other components....
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application application = context.getApplication();
ELContext elContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext();
ExpressionFactory expressionFactory = application.getExpressionFactory();
MethodExpression myActionListener = expressionFactory.createMethodExpression(elContext, "#{SCTabsBean.tabClicked}", null, new Class[] {ActionEvent.class});
And oh yes, I have used the example code for the Woodstock version and also the old fashioned SC version and neither of them worked in my local environment.
It is not an option for me to use WoodStock at this time. The woodstock components have a new way of registering the themes and it is too risky for an interim build to do this.

Hi,
I use forms in my tabNavigator:
                <mx:TabNavigator id="tabNavigator"
                                  creationPolicy="all"
                                  styleName="myTabStyle"
                                  click="selectProfile()"
                                  >
                     <mx:Form id="A" label="A" name="very blue" hideEffect="{hideEffect}"  showEffect="{showEffect}" visible="false" >
                         <mx:Label text="Point" />
                         <mx:NumericStepper id="PointA" name="PointA"  minimum="0" maximum="120" styleName="numStepper" color="white" />   
                     </mx:Form>
             </mx:TabNavigator>
This is how I access the form and add values to my UI controls:
                        //find child controls dynamically
                        var formObj:Object = tabNavigator.getChildAt(i);
                        var formPoint:Object = formObj.getChildByName("Point" + "A");
                        formPoint.value = 55;
I hope this can help put you towards the right direction. This was not easy and tabNavigator is not my friend.
