Having problems with message search?
I tend to go with event dispatchers, as you can move the child wherever you like. However, you need to document the available events, somehow.
If you were to pass in an object to refer to (other than calling 'parent') I would recommend something based on an Interface implementation, for portability, as well.

Hi group,
Is there a best practice for communicating property changes from an object to its parent?
Specifically, is it better to have the object broadcast it's change via dispatchEvent, or is it
better to have the parent ask the object for the value when it's needed, via a getter function?
Or, is it just a personal style kind of thing.
I've got a video object that gets paused and restarted and seeked (suck?) to different frames,
and I need to communicate any changes to the parent app.
Thanks,
Chuck
