How to pass parameters using system.perspective.navagate

Thank you for your response. Sorry for the confusion. I am using views. The “root” that I referred to is the root container (In the Project Browser tree, it is the element directly under the View name).
This is a screenshot of the custom parameter that is on the Table.

I am setting the parameter in the onSelectionChange like this:

self.custom.myCustParam = 11

In my button, I have an onActionPerformed event that sends does the navigation like this:

system.perspective.navigate(view = "Objects/New View",params = {'myCustParam':str(self.parent.getChild("FlexContainer").getChild("Table").custom.myCustParam)})

This is a screenshot of the view that is being navigated to:
