How to access component's control from main .mxml file?

I have a main .mxml while in which i imported custom
"popUpWindow" component using "import components.popUpWindow"
statement. In main .mxml file I display later on that component as
popUp window using popUp manager class:
var popUpWin:IFlexDisplayObject;
popUpWin = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, popUpWindow, true);
Once component is displayed, how can i access using
actionscript component's TextInput control (specifically its .text
property) from my main .mxml file?
thanks

msabljic , sounds like you ran into the same problem as me,
perhaps... I posted a question similar to yours around the same
time. Take a look at the responses I got and maybe that will help
answer your question.

How to access component's control property from main .mxml file

I posted this answer elsewhere, maybe it will help:
First, save the new component wherever you keep your
components, let's say you call it "MyPopWindow.mxml"
Assign public variables for the string in both the main app
and the popup.
In your case, in the main app:
Code:
public var myText:String = "whatever the text field should
say.";
and then in the pop up mxml:
Code:
[Bindable]
public var myText;
Then, in the main mxml file:
Code:
// define the window type
private var popWin:MyPopWindow;
private function popMeUp(event:MouseEvent):void{
popWin =MyPopWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
MyPopWindow, true));
popWin.myText = myText;
The important things here to notice is the name of the
component (i.e. the file) is used. A variable is created for the
window, and TYPED to your file name. Then you use the constructor
you already had, but again use your type. The "true" is optional
and gives you a modal popup window.
Lastly, assign the variable in the window (I called mine
popWin) to the variable in the main file you want to pass.

Custom component calling function from main.mxml

I have a main.mxml that has the following function in it:
public function SubChooseField(evt:Event):void{
Alert.show( "Sub has been chosen" );
main.mxml also places the following custom component:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:ComboBox xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="180" close="parent.SubChooseField(event)">
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:Object data="1" label="choice 1 />
<mx:Object data="2" label="choice 2" />
<mx:Object data="3" label="choice 3" />
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:ComboBox>
I want it so that when you chose one of the options in the
comboBox, it will call the function SubChooseField in the
main.mxml. But when I compile this, no matter what i try, i get the
error:
Error: Call to a possibly undefined method SubChooseField
through a reference with static type my_custom_opponent.
OR if i change the codeand remove the 'parent' to say:
close="SubChooseField(event)"> i get error:
Error: Call to a possibly undefined method SubChooseField.
any help much appreciated.

Rather than trying to use parent, using events might help
here. In your main mxml file, just listen for the change event that
is dispatched from your custom component. Since it is a ComboBox
component, it automatically dispatches this event. If your
component was more complex, you would need to dispatch a custom
event.
If your custom component was named CustomCombo, then the mxml
in your main file would look something like this:
<ns1:CustomCombo id="cb" x="70" y="39" width="160"
change="SubChooseField(event)"/>

Calling a component from a the main.mxml file

How do I call a component from a the main.mxml file?
<mx:Button id="btnNew" label="Launch Component " click="getComponent()" />
main.mxml (Has the button, that I would like to launch getcomponent.mxml)
getcomponent.mxml (The file I would like to call) (This file also has the ViewStack)
For some reasoning it's not seeing the bpVS(view stack id). I'm getting Access of undefined property bpVS error.

<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:components="components.*"
width="100%"
height="100%"
minHeight="0"
backgroundAlpha="0">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   private function getComponent():void{
    bpVS.selectedIndex = 1;
]]>
</mx:Script>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute"
xmlns:view="components.view.*">
<mx:ViewStack id="bpVS"
top="69" left="180.5"
width="100%" height="100%"
resizeEffect="Resize"
moveEffect="Move" showEffect="Fade"
hideEffect="Fade">
</mx:ViewStack>
<mx:VBox id="vbTB" top="69" verticalGap="0">
<mx:ToggleButtonBar
    id="payTB"
    direction="vertical"
    dataProvider="{bpVS}"
    width="180" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true""
    resizeEffect="Resize"
    moveEffect="Move" showEffect="Fade" hideEffect="Fade" >
</mx:ToggleButtonBar>
    </mx:VBox>
Thank you

It won't see it just by creating the namespace that contains it. There has to actually be an instance of it in the application. So in your case, your main application file (lets call it MyApp.mxml) would look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
     xmlns:components="components.*">
     <components:Main id="main"/>
     <components:GetComponent id="getComp"/>
</mx:Application>
Then, you can reach down (mind you this isn't best practice) into those components to access their public properties. In a script block in MyApp.mxml, you could access the VBox with getComp.vbTB.
I don't know the ins and outs of your application, but perhaps Main is the main application, so then you would add GetComponent as a child of it instead of both Main and GetComponent being child components of the MyApp application. Does that clear up the confusion?

How do i seperate media browser from main window in Pro X

How do i separate media browser from main window in Pro X, it only lets me drag project audio tab from main window..
Regards
James.

hello, this is usually caused by adware on your pc.
please run a scan of your system with [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & also manually check that you don't have any suspicious entries like 3rd-party-toolbars presently installed under ''firefox > addons > extensions'' (adware like babylon also might install some unwanted stuff that comes under the names "Browser Manager", "Browser Protector", "Bprotector", "Object Installer", etc.) or in the windows control panel > programs section.
afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customziations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Calling a function in main mxml file from a component

I have a main mxml file for an application.
Within that file I have a viewStack with 3 components which
are in separate mxml files.
I have a function written in Action Script in the main
application that I want to call from the 3 components.
How is this done?
Ta
Mike

Thanks for the help. I got it working using ntsiii's method
(which is more straight forward but maybe not good practice?)
though the line
private var _appMain:Application = Application.application
gave me the error message:
1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to
a possibly unrelated type mx.core:Application.
So i changed it to:
private var _appMain:* = Application.application
Which made it work, I don't really understand why.
Thanks
Mike

OOABAP-How to access the protected methos from a class

How to access the protected methos from a class..There is a built in class..For tht class i have created a object..
Built in class name : CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT
method : LIMIT_TEXT.
How to access this..help me with code

hi,
If inheritance is used properly, it provides a significantly better structure, as common components only
need to be stored once centrally (in the superclass) and are then automatically available to subclasses.
Subclasses also profit immediately from changes (although the changes can also render them invalid!).
Inheritance provides very strong links between the superclass and the subclass. The subclass must
possess detailed knowledge of the implementation of the superclass, particularly for redefinition, but also in
order to use inherited components.
Even if, technically, the superclass does not know its subclasses, the
subclass often makes additional requirements of the superclass, for example, because a subclass needs
certain protected components or because implementation details in the superclass need to be changed in
the subclass in order to redefine methods.
The basic reason is that the developer of a (super)class cannot
normally predict all the requirements that subclasses will later need to make of the superclass.
Inheritance provides an extension of the visibility concept: there are protected components. The visibility of
these components lies between that of the public components (visible to all users, all subclasses, and the class itself), and private (visible only to the class itself). Protected components are visible to and can be used by all subclasses and the class itself.
Subclasses cannot access the private components particularly attributes) of the superclass. Private
components are genuinely private. This is particularly important if a (super)class needs to make local
enhancements to handle errors: it can use private components to do this without knowing or invalidating
subclasses.
Create your class inse24 and inherit this CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT
class in yours. You can then access the protected methods.
Hope this is helpful, <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

Don't know how to access my email away from home

i don't know how to access my email away from home.
can't find webmail or email options.

Somehow I got it to work, a whole lot easier than i thought, kind of scary how easy... but Im not exactly sure what of several things is how I got it. Scariest thing; watching my iBook I wouldn't know that I was accessing it from the MB. It's only me doing it, but still seems so easy.
If I have a WPA2 password protected wireless network do I have to worry that others can access it so easily? (not that I have anything interesting, it's just the general privacy paranoia)

Passing a variable from an mxml component to the main mxml file

Hey guys,
I have a popup titlewindowt which is defined as a component in a separate mxml component file.
In the popup window i have an inputbox and a button
When i press the button in that popup window i want the text in the input box to be transfered across to a variable in my main mxml file
How can i do this?
Thanks
Chris

Since you are already tied in to the top level application then I would add a listener at the application level and in the component do a:
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.dispatchEvent(....)
However, I can't help but encourage you to decouple this functionality and pass events around rather than what you are currently doing.
There are a few ways you can do this. One is to use an MVC framework to model your application after.
A simpler approach even would be to have the component simploy dispatch events to itself and have whatever is creating the component listen for the events and do higher level functionality.
Good Luck!
