Do you want the same dataProvider that the List classes use or your own? In 1.5 there is a pseudo-interface called DataProvider, it's documented under mx.controls.listclasses.DataProvider. It would describe the methods that a DP might have. You then would simply declare a property called dataProvider and you'd be set to go.
dataProvider is just a property, it's up to you to define what it means to your custom component.

I have dropped it into an MXML file and my init(), createChildren() etc functions are all working and I can pass initial values into in like: <myComponent initialValue1="someValue" /> My question is how do I provide an external data provider for this component? Do I need to put flex's dataProvider class in the same package as my component and then refer like this: <myComponent initialValue1="someValue"> <dataProvider> {//some action script object here} </dataProvider> </myComponent> Not sure how this works...
