Hi. Thank you for the great article! If I have a custom component used inside an itemRenderer, how would I write an event to talk to the parentDocument variables? The itemRenderer component needs to read a public variable in the main Application, and someone suggested using custom events to do that vs. using the parentDocument.variableName. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Your tutorial was good. I have a doubt. In my application, I have a tree menu which has many items. If i click an item, the corresponding component must load in a tabNavigator container. How can i add my event in this case>

You wrote

I used

var myBox:Box = new Box;
tab_bar.addChild(myBox);
tab_bar.selectedChild = myBox;

The tabs are opening and the components are displaying. But i dont know how to add the custom event which i have
showBox(handleShowBox(event)
