I'm trying to develop a workflow to keep a business process similar to how it currently exists in another platform.  In a Flex application, the user selects a parcel.  I customized a widget to link out to an ASP.NET form for data entry.  So far so good.

What I'm having trouble with in this:  In the application there is a button that takes the users back to the map so they can add a point feature to the map.  The focus is then shifted back to the form so the user can continue their data entry.  Alas, I could do this in IMS, but I can't see a way to communicate from the form back to the Flex application.

There are workarounds, but I'd like to know if there really isn't a way to do this before trying those.

David,

   The only way I know how to do this is to setup javascript functions in the flex page wrapper.
Look at this thread and on post 9 I give some example code:

Thanks Robert!  This might do the job.  I'll try it out next week.
