"Object" is dynamic and you can't bind to it. (I would expect binding warnings from the compiler) Create your own bindable class. Or wrap the Object in ObjectProxy, if I recall correctly.

What you can do is create a class for the object you want to pass your custom component and add the bindable metadata tag to the properties you want to bind on. You can also add the metadata tag to the class definition. That will make all of the properties of the class bindable. package { [Bindable] public class Obj extends Object { public function Obj() { super(); } public var str:String = ""; } } --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Dan Vega" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If I want to pass a string to my custom component its pretty easy.
