Like I said, not sure what your delay technique is doing, but the default style values for Panel will only be in the SWFs that have a Panel in it. By putting it in the main app, you make it available to all child modules. If you've got some other scheme going on, then you could be running into the shared code problem mentioned in the presentation. The common solution is to use runtime CSS to make sure Panel styles are in the main appdom.

Alex, I bet there is a logical explanation here, is it something in line with your presentation @360?

I am using ModuleManager.getModule( url ) and onLoad using the module factory method to create a ModuleBase. One area I have done things different is delaying instantiation of the View, so the module gets loaded and I then add the view component at a later time. So basically I load an empty module shell and then later load a component into it. So heres the problem, when I load a Panel component into the module, call addChild() (works fine on other components) POW!!! I get the dreaded #1009 error and: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at mx.containers::Panel/layoutChrome()[E:\dev\3.0.x\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\containers\Panel.as:1403] Panels titleBarBackground is declared as null??? Any ideas anyone, as this is a la! te night headache growing? Cheers, S
