> I have tried using a Sprite as the topmost child and drawing on it I think that's the way to do it. To make sure that your sprite is always on top, just add "addChild(yourSprite)" at the end of the updateDisplayList function. If the sprite is not on the display list, it's going to be added to it, and if it's already there, it's going to be pushed on top of all the other sprites.

My code looks something like public class TestButton extends Button { public function TestButton() { super(); } override protected function updateDisplayList( w:Number, h:Number):void { super.updateDisplay List(w, h); var g:Graphics = graphics; g.moveTo(0, unscaledHeight / 2); g.lineStyle( 1, 0x000000); g.lineTo(unscaledWi dth, unscaledHeight / 2); } } I have tried using a Sprite as the topmost child and drawing on it, but apparently there's always something above my Sprite and I still can't see what I draw. I've googled and searched the group archives for a similar problem, but either I'm not using the right search terms or nobody had such a problem before because I can't seem to find anything of help. So, does anybody have some pointers as to what might one do to draw on such a component? Thank you!
