OK, because you just said, >>Repeater would >>make an > array of the 5 instances. How is that fundamentally different? The custom component you're suggesting is just a class just like <mx:Image> is, so I don't see how your example is any different really? NOT trying to argue, just trying to understand. If you say, myTree[0].imageSource = myImageUrl; - isn't myTree an array created from doing <c:MyTree id="myTree" /> inside the repeater - just like <mx:Image id="_images" /> as in my example? Again, NOT trying to argue, just trying to understand the difference! Thanks so much for your help!
