you have to use the Button.mxml somewhere ...!? setting the ID of something inside a mxml file, makes this object a public attribute of the corresponding class.

if the <mx:Button> is the only thing inside your button.mxml get rid of the ID inside the button.mxml and set it from the outside.

if you have a surrounding container, sth, like a HGroup you can access it from your main like this:

<myNS:Button id="myButton" />

and in the fx:Script tag:

myButton.textarea;

cheers
