interacting with navigator from outside view stack

[Mark Fuqua <ma...@availdata.com>]

I have an actionscript class that runs a function on a timed interval.
There is no way to tell what view the user will be on when the function is
run.

 

I would like to push the user to a view from within this function when
certain conditions are met.  I have tried this, but it won't compile.

 

FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.navigator.pushView(TaskFeed);

 

Is there a way to do this?  Is there a way to interact with views from
outside the views package?

 

Thanks,

 

Mark Fuqua

What error are you getting?  Is navigator a ViewStack?  I don't think it
has pushView.  There is addChild and selectedIndex.

Is this a mobile app?  IIRC, timers can drain battery.  If not, consider
using a data model to represent the UI state.  Then the timer changes the
model and the view reacts accordingly.
