You can create ActionScript or MXML class; they are effectively the same thing. The only real "limitation" I've found is I've failed to create extensible containers via MXML; meaning, extending CheckBox, Label, Loader, with MXML works great, but extending Containers like VBox, Panel, etc. gave me problems. I can't remember if it WAS supposed to have 1 child or NOT supposed to have any children... anyway, if you use ActionScript, works like a charm, but I like MXML better.
If the <mx:Script tag is the first tag after Application, those methods will become class methods, just like others. If you put it after uicomponents, I think it just becomes like an include instead. You can still put it after mx:Style and mx:Metadata tags which is cool.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trey Long" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 12:12 PM Subject: [flexcoders] MXML Components and Classes Quick question about making custom components. I know custom components exist as classes in actionscript but I was a little lost on how you create functions for your component. Right now I have an external .AS file that is just some import statements and a collection of functions (no package or class definition). How can I link the .MXML component to a class, or write the components class code? Is it possible to have a hybrid component or must the whole thing be in actionscript if I want any programmatic functionality? -Trey -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
