myXML in myBox as a protected (or public) var, then do the assignment in
MXML later and make sure you give it the same name.

What i wrote wasn't clear, sorry Gordon.
Virtualy all my components (~100 or more) use myBox.as as their
container. About 20% of these components have an <mx:XML
id="myXML"> tag eg.
myBoxComponent.mxml
-------------------
<myBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*">
<mx:XML id="myXML"><!--all have the same 'id'-->
<someXml/>
</mx:XML>
</myBox>
I want to deal with myXML generically from within myBox.as rather
than in the 20 odd components that use it.
eg in myBox.as
private aFunction():void
{
if(this.myXML) //this worked in flex 1.5
{
//do something
}
}
the other way i could do this is declare myXML in myBox.as and then
overide it in myBoxComponent.mxml (but how do you do overide a
<mx:XML> tag in mxml).
the flex1.5 way (translated to flex2b2) gives a compile error saying
this.myXML doesn't exist etc.
