Global Variables
Due to the size of the script area in the my main project mxml file, I
decided to break it up into several class files. One for each database
table. I have adopted a crude mechanism to move data around from the mxml to
the as scripts and between the as scripts. I have setup a class call
Globals, with an instance called g, which contains all a copy of all the
instance variables of the classes, Callresonder objects, datagrids etc.
Resulting in 'g' being passed around every class in order to ensure the data
is available where it is needed.
I know I can create a new instance of the global variable within each class,
NOT quite what I want.
I would like to create the global variable in the main project mxml file and
reference it in the class files ...
Can this be done ?

Or make the Globals a singleton(ish) class, for ref. see [1]. All
approaches are valid and depend on what you want to build and how
maintainable it should be.

Well, the best way of doing it is to use a framework like Parsley. This
gives you 'dependency injection' where you can inject a class into others -
for example you might share a model across all your classes.
The filthy way of doing it is to create a single globals class with all its
variables made static :)

The other posts make good suggestions, but the simplest (and potentially
filthiest) is to declare public variables on the main app and reference
them from other classes via FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.

Hi,
Look into use modules in Flex.
