appName_ti.text = "app2";
message_ti.text = "hello from app1";
receive_ti.text = "----";

send_btn.onPress = function() {	
	mApplication.trace("sending message");
	mApplication.sendMessage(appName_ti.text, message_ti.text);
}
mApplication.onMessage = function(args:Array) {
	mApplication.trace("received message");
	receive_ti.text = args.join(" ");
}
