title: How to access my Vue app outside of vue not working in IE11
body: <p>I have a standard app using vue CLI3 with Babel support. I'm trying to trigger a function within one of my components in my app. My current solution works fine in all browsers except IE11. </p>
  
  <p>I have the following in my main.js</p>
  
  <pre><code>//import Vue from 'vue';
  import App from './App.vue';
  
  Vue.config.productionTip = true;
  
  window.myapp= new Vue({
    render: h =&gt; h(App),
  
  }).$mount('#app');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Somewhere else on my page I have the following code executed upon a user's click.</p>
  
  <pre><code>myapp.$children[0].$children[0].loadMyFuntion();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works great for all browsers except for IE11 :( </p>
  
  <p>I've also tried stuffing it inside Vue.prototype.$myapp however IE11 seems to not have my variable populated. It shows up in FF or anything chromium. </p>
  
  <p>Any other ideas?</p>
