Adding none visual items when a visual components is to be passed as a parameter

I am wanting to mediate a none visual component, so in my BootstrapViewMediators mediator I have the following view/mediator mapping code:

// register non visual components
mediatorMap.mapView( TransitionManagerView, TransitionManagerViewMediator, null, false, false );

// instantiate non visual components
mediatorMap.createMediator( new TransitionManagerView( ) );

However, my problem is that the TransitionManagerView extends a TransitionManager which accepts a visual object of type ScreenNavigator in the constructor.

I've taken a look around and can't find any example of what is the best approach when faced with this situation.

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

   Whilst these topics talk about things related to none visual items being injected and mediated (which I actually provided an example of), they do not answer my original question.

   What exactly is not working?
   Have you tried injecting the view into TransitionManagerView?

   I don’t know if something like the following is addressing your problem, but from what you said, that’s what I understand:

   In the Context

   injector.mapClass(TransitionManagerView,TransitionManagerView);
   injector.mapValue(SomeViewStack, new SomeViewStack());
   

   TransitionManagerView:

   [Inject]     
   public var someView:someViewStack;
   public function TransitionManagerView()
   {       
        super(someView);
   }
   

   TransitionManager:

   private var _view:ViewStack;
   public function TransitionManager(view:ViewStack)
   {
       _view=view;         
   }
   //...do something with the view
   

   Where you need TransitionManagerView:

   var transManager:TransitionManagerView=injector.getInstance(TransitionManagerView);          
   mediatorMap.createMediator(transManager);
