Hey there,

I'm trying out the new application feature in MX 2004. So far the only thing I can't seem to fully figure out is pathing. I have a form within my application called testForm. On testForm I have a combobox called combo. I know that if I want to refer to combo from actionscript on frame 1 of testForm, I can just use combo.property = ...However, if I want to refer to it from within a function on frame 1, how to I address it using a relative path? Nothing seems to work. I tried using this.combo or _parent.combo(which I know won't work). Any suggestions? Do I have to use the absolute path?

Thanks,
Ward

Yes I tried that one too. It's seems as if I'm a moron. I'm using the accordion component and I didn't realize that the other components on the child form are really new instances within the accordion component.

Thanks,
Ward
