I have a flashmx 2004 professional application using forms. I am able to call methods on my application form from child forms with no problem. However, when I try to call a method on a child form from the application or any other form I have no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.

How are you trying to refer to the child forms from the parent? Can you give a little
example?

If you are trying to refer to the child in an on(load) event handler of the parent, that
won't work because the parent loads before the children load. You can't in general refer
to children until the object is fully created, either in the first frame of the parent's
timeline, or perhaps in an on(reveal) handler.

Ed,

Thanks for the reply. After working with it for a while, I figured out that I was using the wrong path to get to the form. The path you take to get to a form sometimes seems to vary. I have found that by going to the root form and them putting in the complete path to the form I wish to use I have the most success. For instance:

Application
--- Form1
-------- Form1_child
--- Form2

When calling form1_child from Form2 I would use this.rootForm.Form1.Form1_child.method() and it works fine.

Thanks again for your help.
