Doesn't myModelInstance.vAxis1 work? Every MXML file defines a class, and every tag with an id defines a property in that class, where the name of the property is specified by the id. So when you have an instance of that class, you should just be able to use the dot operator to access that property, in the same way that you would access a public var or public getter in the class.

To be precise, I was using linear axis in a model class, and i used myModelInstance["vAxis1"] and that worked. : ) That was simple concept but I kept banging my head with all types of combinations using getDefinitionByName....getQualifiedClassName..... Thanks for the help everyone... Cheers!
