Accessing modules from other modules

You can access properties and methods of other modules by using references to the other modules through the parent application. You do this by using the ModuleLoader child property. This property points to an instance of the module's class, which lets you call methods and access properties.

The following example defines a single application that loads two modules. The InterModule1 module defines a method that returns a String. The InterModule2 module calls that method and sets the value of its Label to the return value of that method.

Main application:

Module 1:


<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!-- modules/InterModule1.mxml -->

<mx:Module xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="100%" height="100%">

    <mx:Script><![CDATA[    

        // Defines the method that the other module calls.

        public function getNewTitle():String {

            return "New Module Title";

        }    

    ]]></mx:Script>

</mx:Module>
