How to access the map in MapManager.mxml of com.esri.viewer.managers?

Question

I created a drawTool in the index.mxml of flex viewer as the following. I need to use the map in the MapManager.mxml, I want it to be binded. I also tried map = {com.esri.viewer.managers.MapManager.map}, but it does not work either. How do I get access to the "map" in the flex viewer's environment? In Flex API sample, user can create themselves, but here what should I do? Thanks!
