<p>I am trying to set one bindable variable to be bound to another.  Essentially I want to create an alias.  I would give up, but this seems like something that would be good to know.</p>

<p>essentially, I want changes in model.configView to be reflected in view, so that things bound to view.... behave the same as things bound to model.configView... in this example <pre>[Bindable]
var view = model.configView;</p>

<p>...
&lt;mx:Label text="{view.lblThisLabel.name}" />
</pre></p>

<p>at the moment it does not, and I am getting errors that say "unable to bind to property 'lblThisLabel' on class 'Object' (class is not an IEventDispatcher)"</p>

Not quite enough code here to really say what's going on, however you have made
```
view
```
bindable and that does not automatically mean that all of
```
view
```
's children are bindable.  You'll have to go into
```
view
```
and make
```
lblThisLabel
```
bindable too.
Also it is hard for the rest of us to know how it works in your head.  Perhaps you should describe that too.
