Custom components and the navigator object

Question

Hi all,
I'm starting on a mobile project which is a ViewNavigator based application. I've created a custom component which contains a button. I'd like the button to be able to use the pushView method however as it's a custom component, it doesn't appear to recognise the navigator object. If anyone has any advice/tips on how I might go about this, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

The button sits in a custom component - actually in a datarenderer. Code looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:DataRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                                        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">
  <fx:Script>
                    <![CDATA[
                              import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
                              protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
                    ]]>
  </fx:Script>
  <fx:Declarations>
  </fx:Declarations>
          <s:Button label="{data.firstName}" click="button1_clickHandler(event)" width="150" height="150" />
</s:DataRenderer>
which is being called from a View. There's no error, I'm simply unable to/unsure how to access the navigator object so I can push a new view onto the stack from within that component.
Cheers!
