Your GroupHandle has no measure method so it will be given a size of 0,0 unless you specify a width/height on the GroupHandle Please read over the docs on custom component development. There is a basic recipe you should be following.

Thanks Alex, I tried that, but still no joy, AND the graphics don't render now either for some strange reason. All I did is change my previously posted code to: public class GroupHandle extends UIComponent (and I also imported UIComponent of course). Here is the class, still not showing the image. Thanks for any further help you can provide: package com.venice.view.network.groupingTool { import mx.controls.Image; import mx.core.UIComponent; public class GroupHandle extends UIComponent { public const FILL_COLOR:uint = 0xffffff; public const FILL_ALPHA:Number = .5; public const STROKE_COLOR:uint = 0x000000; public const STROKE_THICKNESS:Number = 1; public const STROKE_ALPHA:Number = 1.0; public const SIZE:Number = 10; [Embed(source = "/media/icons/control_repeat_blue.png")] private var _moveGroupImage:Class; public function GroupHandle():void { graphics.clear(); graphics.lineStyle(STROKE_THICKNESS, STROKE_COLOR, STROKE_ALPHA); graphics.beginFill(FILL_COLOR, FILL_ALPHA); graphics.drawRect(-(SIZE/2), -(SIZE/2), SIZE/2, SIZE/2); graphics.endFill(); var icon:Image = new Image(); icon.source = _moveGroupImage; icon.setActualSize(100, 100) addChild(icon); } } } Jason Merrill Bank of America Enterprise Technology & Global Risk L&LD Instructional Technology & Media Join the Bank of America Flash Platform Developer Community <blocked::http://sharepoint.bankofamerica.com/sites/tlc/flash/default.as px> Are you a Bank of America associate interested in innovative learning ideas and technologies?
