The rule is that components intended for use as MXML tags can't have
constructor parameters. This is because a tag like
<mx:Button id="b" label="OK"/>
essentially ends up being instantiated with the code
b = new Button();
b.label = "OK";
In other words, each attribute becomes an assignment statement. The MXML
compiler wouldn't know what to pass to the constructor.

Ok, that's what I thought might be the case.

MXML components can't have a constructor with parameters.
You should set parameters with setters implemented within the component.

When I make an MXML component that extends for example the panel class how
do I get to the constructor?
I want to pass parameters when I create a new login box but can't seem to
get a constructor to work.
Thanks
