OK. I don't know what the EULA says about your options, but keep in mind that mixing fl.* and mx.* components doesn't work for fl.* components that get keyboard focus. You'll start getting runtime exceptions. So this might work for FLVPlayback, but I wouldn't guarantee it for other fl.* components.

That did the trick! Thanks Alex. I've since figured there are four ways to instantiate the FLVPlayback component in Flex, which will be the topic of a few upcoming articles: 1) Use the Flex Component Kit to wrap the FLVPlayback in a UIMovieClip (a well-known implementation) 2) Reference the FLVPlayback component class in the Flash CS3 installation directly, though this involves a few hacks since the class is expecting to find certain MovieClip assets which are not there if you don't use the SWC. (which is what I was trying to do) 3) Merge all the class files from all fl.* package locations (there are four) in the Flash CS3 installation directory into a local src/fl/ package, though you'll have to employ the same hacks as 2) - not my first choice, as it potentially breaks the EULA. 4) Just place the FLVPlayback SWC in the /libs directory from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Components\Video\FLVPlaybackAS3.swc This is my preference, since it's clean and doesn't involve the hacks necessary in 2) & 3). __________________________________________________________ Joseph Balderson, Flash Platform Developer | http://joeflash.ca <http://joeflash.ca> Alex Harui wrote: > Try just > > > > C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Component > Source\ActionScript 3.0\FLVPlayback > > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] > *On Behalf Of *Joseph Balderson > *Sent:* Sunday, August 10, 2008 12:50 PM > *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > *Subject:* [flexcoders] Extending A Class From an External Source > Produces Error 1017: Base Class Not Found > > > > I'm creating a class which extends FLVPlayback directly, without using > UIMovieClip, and implements IMXMLObject so it can be instantiated in > MXML.
