i would just use getters/setters i think that is the only way
public function set myProperty(value:Object):void{
textInput.someProperty=value;
}

Sherif:
Thanks, this gets me part way there.
What I created was;
override protected function createChildren( ):void
{
super.createChildre n();
removeChild( textInput) ;
if(textInput)
{
textInput = new ValidatedTextInput( );
addChild(textInput) ;
}
}
This actually calls my component ValidateTextInput( ) and does
validation.
The reason I say part way, is that I have added a number of
properties to my component ValidateTextInput that I would like to
become visible in my new DateField's mxml definition.
Any Idea on how to do this?
