How to acess one mxml component id in another mxml component?

[dilu]

Hi ,
I want to access one mxml componet id to another mxml component .
I have one mxml component(ABCD) where there is a Vbox whose id is
vbox1.
I want to access this vbox1 to another mxml component (DEFG).
To access this I am doing something like this:
1.On the main mxml application I have declared one variable :-
public var abcd:ABCD=new ABCD();
2.On the DEFG mxml component I am trying to access vbox1 like this:
Application.application.abcd.vbox1.
But its throwing error "Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference."
Do any of you is having any idea how to deal with this ?

Sampath,

Before adding I want to access it through Application.application....

But I am not able to access it..

You need to access the component or componenet methods?

 

Please clear to me.

 

Thanks.

I need to access one vbox which is inside one component.

[Manikandan]

Dear Dillu,

VBox is not created you have accessing time.

So please check the VBox is created or Not?

I have suggest, you don't use Application.application

If you have remove one Component this is very dangerous. So try to
write Custom Event access to the component.

Thanks with Regards,

or you can pass a reference/function on the component which you want to access in to the component you are going trigger it.
this way those are not hard binded.

yes application.application reference is not recommended.
