Flash Builder 4: Call main function from a component function
- by hyper
i try to make a login sistem in flex, and my app looks like this:
i have a main.mxml. when the app loads, a function named "start" is called. it verifies if the user is logged in or not. if "true" the user is redirected to a dashboard, if "false", a component named login is loaded.
my login.mxml component has 2 input boxes (user & pass) and a "Submit" button. when the button is pressed a function named "send_login" sends the user and the pass values to the server.
My problem sounds like this: when i press the Submit button in my login component, after user and pass are sended... i want to call again the "start" function from my main.mxml to check again if the user is logged in or not...
i need some kind of as2 "_root"
this is how my code looks:
main.mxml
public function start():void {
currentState="Start";
loginstatus();
}
login.mxml
private function send_login(event:Event):void {
... bla bla send user and pass....
scriptLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleLoadSuccessful);
}
private function handleLoadSuccessful(evt:Event):void {
trace("Data sent.");
start(); <-- HERE i want to call the function from main.mxml
}
any help is welcomed!
