Naty,

  You can try to make

private function activateSearchTool(value:String):void

public instead of private then get the reference to the widget and call it.

Naty,

  It is extremely difficult to call a function from the Controllers menu item. There is just nothing setup for that and although I have done it it is ALOT of code changes. I would suggest looking at some other avenue.
