Hi, 
 
if your Custompanel is used as component in Main.mxml then you could pass a reference to the div1 CustomDividedBox to your Custompanel. 
 
Sample code for Main.mxml 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-35785186-1">...
&lt;local:CustomDividedBox id=&quot;div1&quot;/&gt;
&lt;local:Custompanel id=&quot;panel&quot; box=&quot;{div1}&quot;/&gt;
---
</code></pre>
 
You need to add a variable &quot;box&quot; to your Custompanel class and use this in your xxxx function: 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-35785186-2">...
	&lt;mx:Script&gt;
		&lt;![CDATA[
			import CustomDividedBox;
			
			public var box:CustomDividedBox;
			
			private function xxxx():void {
				box.state = (box.state == CustomDividedBox.COLLAPSE) ? 
								CustomDividedBox.EXPAND : 
								CustomDividedBox.COLLAPSE;
			}
		]]&gt;
	&lt;/mx:Script&gt;
...
</code></pre>
 
Just a question: are you using states in your CustomDividedBox and want to change the state of the box? Then you would have to use the property box.currentState instead of box.state. 
 
Cheers
