"you cannot extend Application" , no, you can defintely do this. The
limitation is that the subclass can only appear at the root of an mxml
file.
I don't see what is wrong in the posted code. This is an example tht is
very similar and is working for me:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mipc:MIPApplication
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
xmlns:mipc="MIPContainers.*"
app="{this}" >
<mx:Style source="mip.css" />
</mipc:MIPApplication>
And MIPApplication.as starts off like this:
package MIPContainers
{
import mx.core.Application;
...
public class MIPApplication extends le_MIP
{
"le_MIP" is an mxml application. Hmm, I am always extending an mxml
application, not the "Application" class, I wonder if that is the
difference?

I believe Doug is right, you will have to make sure the name of your
MXML component and AS class are different. But even at that, you cannot
extend Application because by doing so it will not generate the
appropriate hidden code at compile time to make your app work. What u
should do is extends Box, Panel, etc... and then drop those into your
app.

File name/class name mismatch? I think you'll need to either change
your class name to "myClassBase", or change the filename
to "myClass.as".
