Hi there,
I've been working on some ActionScript-only, UIComponent-derived
classes, and haven't been able to figure out how to make them visible
in Flex Builder's MXML design view. For instance, given the class:
package com.example
{
import mx.containers.Box;
public class PinkBox extends Box
{
public function PinkBox()
{
super();
setStyle('backgroundColor', '#ff0099');
}
}
}
And the MXML document:
<mx:Application xmlns:example="com.example.*">
<example:PinkBox width="100" height="100" />
</mx:Application>
I would assume that Flex Builder's design view actually renders the
swf in some special mode. But if that were the case the box would be
pink (it's not; it's completely invisible until you click on it). Of
course, setting the "backgroundColor" to "#ff0099" in the design view
style pane yields the desired effect.
So the question is, How does one specify how custom components are
rendered in Flex Builder's design view?
Cheers,
