dispatch event to parent ViewController in swift

Question

I\'m coming from as AS3 background so it might be easier for me to show you what I\'m trying to do with AS3. I have a UIViewController(root) and inside that I have a ContainerV

Well or you can use static variables, which is probably the most straightforward way.

class ParentViewController: UIViewController {

    static var instance:ParentViewController?

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        self.dynamicType.instance = self
    }

    func parentFunction() {
        print("called \(#function) in \(self.dynamicType)")
    }
}

class ChildViewController: UIViewController {
    func childFunction() {
        ParentViewController.instance?.parentFunction()
    }

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        childFunction()
    }
}
