Accessing an embedded View in another Perspective view folder (Component Methods)

[Roy]

Hello everyone,

I have an event script triggered when 'button' is clicked. The script is suppose to assign a path to EmbeddedView which is in another folder. How can I go about this? The following doesn't seem to work:
self.parent.parent.getSibling("Users_Management").getChild("Flex_View1").getChild("EmbeddedView").props.path = "Admin Folder/Flex_View2"

This thread is intended as a short help file for all those struggling to post formatted code on the forum. Posting formatted code on the forum (and most others) is as simple as selecting the code and pressing the </> button. It works the same as applying Bold or Italic styles to your document. It preserves indentation and applies syntax highlighting. [How to post code]

The script is suppose to assign a path to EmbeddedView which is in another folder.

If clicking the button also opens Flex_View1 then use parameters:

1. Create a parameter on Flex_View1, embeddedViewPath.
2. On the Embedded View component, create a Property Binding on props.path and set it to view.params.embeddedViewPath.

If not, (because the view is already open, for example) then consider using a session variable:

1. Create a session variable, embeddedViewPath.
2. Modify the script to update the session variable with the correct path.
3. On the Embedded View component, create a Property Binding on props.path and set it to session.custom.sessionViewPath.

@Roy

self.parent.parent.getSibling("Users_Management").getChild("Flex_View1").getChild("EmbeddedView").props.path = "Admin Folder/Flex_View2"

"Siblings" in this context means "component" - NOT View.

Your provided View hierarchy doesn't suggest you have an Embedded View placed within Flex_View1. So this is your first step.

1. Place an Embedded View into Flex_View1.
2. Modify your script to be this:

self.getSibling("EmbeddedView").props.path = "Admin Folder/Flex_View2"
