How to make data persist in form?

Question

Hi
I've made multiple forms for a Web site. Each form is within its own module. The problem is the data entered into a form disappears as soon as the user shifts to another form (and consequently, another module). How to make the data persist in the form even if the user shifts away to another module? I've tried using a Model to hold the data but the data didn't stay in the text fields.
<fx:Declarations>
     <fx:Model  id="babyModel1">
          <BabyForm>
               <CleaningProducts>{babyCleanProd.text}</CleaningProducts>
               <BabyProducts>{babyProd.text}</BabyProducts>
          </BabyForm>
     </fx:Model>
</fx:Declarations>
<mx:Form id="babyQuestionnaire" x="140" y="40" >
     <mx:FormItem width="100%" label="Baby Cleaning Products1">
          <s:RichEditableText 
               id="babyCleanProd"
               width="200"
               height="100"
               backgroundColor="#ffffff"
               paddingLeft="4" paddingRight="4" paddingTop="4" paddingBottom="4"
               color="#222222"
               />
     </mx:FormItem>
     <mx:FormItem width="100%" label="Baby Products1">
          <s:RichEditableText  id="babyProd"
                   width="200"
                    height="100"
                    backgroundColor="#ffffff"
                    paddingLeft="4" paddingRight="4" paddingTop="4" paddingBottom="4"
                    color="#222222"/>
         </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
Any solutions? The data persists in the text fields if the forms are all in the same central application but then there's lots of code for each form.
Thanks for your attention.

Answer 1

I thought ModuleLoader could only load one Module at a time, and unloaded the current Module when called to load the next Module. This app has only one ModuleLoader, which loads various modules as different states are called.
If the Model to hold the form data is in the shell application, how to wire each Model to each Form (assuming the forms are still in various modules)?
Thanks.
