Change subtitle from the ActionScript code

Question

I want to change the subtitle of the viewer during user interaction as they switch from one custom theme to another.
Is it possible to change the subtitle value from the ActionScript code?

This is sort of a hack but there is not an exposed way by esri to do this.

Step 1: in the WidgetManager.mxml change line 66 to public from privatepublic var controlContainer:Group;

Step 2: Call this code from some wherefor (var c:int = 0; c < ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.controlContainer.numElements; c++){
     try{
      var hc:* = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.controlContainer.getElementAt(c);
      hc.bannerSubtitle.text = "hello world";
     } catch(error:Error){}
    }
