OK, I'm being lazy and asking for the best approach to this before I give it a go.
I have a custom component based on a canvas. Inside the component is a panel. Inside the panel is a controlBar. In the main application I have the custom component (CompA). I want to add another custom component (CompB) inside the controlBar of the custom component (CompA). It seems to me I have three choices: 1) Copy the custom component (CompA) and make a variation of it (CompC) with the controlBar populated with CompB (this is probably the path of least resistance), 2) Use actionscript to add CompB to the controlBar of CompA dynamically - very doable 3) Add the CompB in mxml between the tags for CompA. By default this would give me CompB inside CompA, but it won't be in the controlBar. I could then add some actionscript to the CompB (or perhaps even CompA) to move CompB into the controlBar of CompA. If the custom component were derived from a panel, rather than a canvas, there wouldn't be a problem. So, what's the best approach to make CompB hop from the canvas of CompA into the controlBar inside the panel of CompA? I might just go with 1), but it's interesting to consider 3) What a pity we can't extend custom components in mxml.. Paul
