()method
public function addChildBridge(bridge:IEventDispatcher, bridgeProvider:ISWFBridgeProvider):void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Adds a new bridge to the pod.

Parameters

bridge:IEventDispatcher — The bridge to communicate with the child content.
 
bridgeProvider:ISWFBridgeProvider — The DisplayObject that loaded the content represented by the bridge. Usually this is will be an instance of the SWFLoader class.

containsBridge

()method 
public function containsBridge(bridge:IEventDispatcher):Boolean

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
