Hi subhajit nag,
I think the best approach would what I say is if you can make use of a Global variable or using a Singleton class having a variable which can be accessed globally through out the application.
Below is the sample what I am talking to:
So in below example you can access the variables textInputWidth and textInputHeight globally throghout the application since you have decalred them in main mxml file.
You can access these variabled in another mxml file as Application.application.textInputWidth and Application.application.textInputHeight. So if at all you are required to modify these values you are only required to modify at a single place in main mxml file..thats it.
If you are use any Singleton classes like ModelLocator you can place these variables in this class and refer from that class.
Hope this resoved your problem..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
<mx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
   [Bindable]private var textInputWidth:int = 250;
   [Bindable]private var textInputHeight:int = 25;
  ]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Canvas id="canvas1">
  <mx:TextInput id="txt1" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/> 
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Canvas id="canvas2">
  <mx:TextInput id="txt2" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/> 
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Canvas id="canvas3">
  <mx:TextInput id="txt3" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/> 
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:TextInput id="txt4" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
<mx:TextInput id="txt5" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
</mx:Application>
