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?
