He wants to create custom components, so he needs to understand methods
like createChildren(), commitProperties(), measure(), and
updateDisplayList(). There should be a whole book in the documentation set about creating
your own components, and it should cover basic methods like these. - Gordon ________________________________________ From: Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 8:26 PM To: Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Understanding UIComponent You look like you're on the right track. For now (as of Beta 1),
I think the only ones that actually matter event wise are: initialize creationComplete The only difference is initialize runs before all of the layout
stuff, so if you need to do your own positioning/sizing, this is a good place
to do it; creationComplete is after all the children have been created AND
sized + positioned. We've all asked for the goto flow diagram of the main component
that is UIComponent, so hopefully this'll get clearer doc wise soon. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 7:51 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Understanding UIComponent I'm just getting started with Flex Beta. We are particularly interested in being able to create custom components using AS3.
So I am keen to get my head around the structure of UIComponent. In
AS2 I saw an excellent diagram that explained the sequence that methods were executed and what should be done with each. I have been looking
for a similar diagram for AS3 with no luck. Consequently I've had a go
myself. Firstly, does anyone know of a good resource (other than the AS3 language reference which has become my constant companion) with this information. OR Could someone have a look at my drawing (http://www.geekglue.com/media/swf/uicomponent.htm) and let me know if I'm on the right track. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com
