I know this is old, but I'm catching up on flexcoders... You usually want to call createChild() instead of createClassObject().
createChild() is for creating "content children" inside of containers. The dynamically created children contribute to the numChildren count, can be accessed via getChildAt(), and participate in the container's layout algorithm. createClassObject() is for creating "non-content children". For example, Flex containers use it to create their border and scrollbars, which are child MovieClips but which don't count in numChildren, can't be accessed via getChildAt(), and don't participate in layout. It is also how Flex controls create their internal pieces; for example, a NumericStepper uses createClassObject() to create its increment and decrement buttons. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aldo Bucchi Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 1:03 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Dynamic controls Agha, Parse the array and instantiate controls dynamically ( with actioncript ) mx.core.UIObject.createClassObject( classRef: Function, name: String, depth: Number, initObj: Object) : mx.core.UIObject On 8/4/05, Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I'm not sure what your question is.
