Thanks Amy,
I actually managed to get it to work as a Flex component in the end, it was pretty fiddly but once figure out its simple, I can create the 3dwall instance and add it to a view state or container and don't have ANY code in flash at all. But I still have complete code completion in flex from the generated swc. Basically my fla has the 3dwall in the library and I export a swc, pull into flex and wrap it in a UIComponent and I'm done. I'm going to blog about how to set it up if you're interested I can let you know once I post.

I'd prefer to use it as a flex > component but I can't figure out why its "running" but isn't visible. IIRC, the XML and object methods of loading work completely differently. If you're using an object, you need to use "url" instead of "src". I think if you get that wrong it will fail without error. I also recall I had to "read between the lines" of their docs to figure that out. What I did with my component is that I had a setup() method that I called in the constructor that fed in some dummy data while I was still in the Flash environment. That way I could make sure everything was working before I exported the swc, and if I had a problem, the FlashLoaded engineers couldn't play the "don't support Flex" card. Just before I exported the swc, I'd comment out the setUp () call, and then I'd do the actual setup from Flex. HTH; Amy No virus found in this incoming message.
