Basically from what I can gather you are trying to load in an MXML
component based on a combo box's data attribute.
This cannot be done unless that mxml component has been imported at
compile time.
The reason for this is even though FLEX is a server-side "compiler"
once a MXML file has been processed, it basically disconnects from
FLEX server itself *much like html does to a web server*. Through
events like RemoteObject we can reconnect if need be but thats another
discussion.
There is a way though.
in your main mxml file (ie index.mxml) put an import statement, ie:
<mx:Script>
import com.mossyblog.customviews.*;
function loadMessageSpecificsPanel(event) {
var resource = event.target.selectedItem.data.resource;
var child = editMessageSpecificsPanel.createChild(eval(resource),
undefined, {label:'TEST', width:'100%', height:'100%'});
}
</mx:Script>
note the eval(resource).
