FLEX: How can I share components IDs through modules?

Are IDs attributes shared between different modules in Flex ?

i.e. I have a text area wi开发者_如何学编程th id="text1" in my menu.mxml file.

And I want to write on it from another module mainArea.mxml

The debug gives me error, so how can I share different components ?

thanks

I'd suggest you create a central model object that contains the text instead of trying to access elements by ID. If you access elements by ID -- and I'm not sure if this works cross-module -- you tightly couple your code as opposed to having a central model that takes care of that. Then the calling code does not need to know about the text area or label or whatever you happen to bind to it.
