Hi all,

Currently I am working on a project that seems a bit daunting to someone that’s quite new to Flex 3 and the Flex Builder 3. I’m trying to create a Build Your Jacket app that will allow the user to create a “Letterman Jacket” with logos and text of their choice ( something a bit similar to [Spreadshirt.com](http://Spreadshirt.com) ).

At the moment I’m trying to work out how to have 2 Panels communicate with each other.

So say for example:  
In Panel B I have a Text field where someone can type one line of text. When they type into the field, I’d like it to appear in Panel A and allow the user to manipulate that in Panel A.

If someone has an example of this in Flex 3 or AS3 form, then that would be great! But if not, then I’m really looking for some direction on things I can look up and focus on in order to accomplish this.

Thanks guys.
