Re: [flexcoders] Still Need Example of Custom Component Built in Flash
Yeah, It kinda sucks that Flex Builder doesn't give you introspection of
the custom components you create.
I guess that's just how it is though.

Depending on what you want to achieve with the component, you can write
it as an ActionScript file and put it in a directory where Flex can find
it. The simplest is to put it in the same directory as the file where
you want to use it.
So say you had the code below saved as CustomPanel.as
You could call it from within an MXML file in the same directory like this:
CustomExample.mxml
***
http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
xmlns:user="*">
CustomPanel.as
*
import mx.containers.Panel;
class CustomPanel extends Panel {
function CustomPanel() {
super();
}
function resize(newWidth:Number,newHeight:Number) {
width = newWidth;
height = newHeight;
}
}
**
Depending on exactly what you want to do in ActionScript, you may or may
not be able to achieve it without going into Flash Studio and creating a
.swc file.
Does that answer the question?

Anyway, that's the key part that's missing I think. DevNet article
anyone?

Hello,
Would someone be willing to post a simple example of a custom
component built in Flash for use in Flex? The simpler the better. Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Still Need Example of Custom Component Built in Flash
Just re-read the question and realized it was asking about creating stuff in Flash rather than specifically ActionScript. I think Jesse's right and if you're generating .swc files you'll need to put them in either /WEB-INF/flex/frameworks or /WEB-INF/flex/user_classes. I think the recommendation is to use the second of those. As for creating the .swc itself, you should probably go take a look at the following area in the ActionScript documentation: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/3072.html Spike JesterXL wrote: Coding it in Flash isn't hard... it's installing the mofo that I don't know how to do.

RE: [flexcoders] Still Need Example of Custom Component Built in Flash
There's an 80 page document that shows: - how to build simple components in Flash for use in Flex; - instructions on how to compile components into SWCs; - where to put SWCs for use in your Flex environment; - and Much Much More! :) This document was removed from the Flex 1.0 DevApps book and put up as a separate document on the Macr website because it details a workflow that we don't really want to encourage. The process for building and skinning components made in Flash for use in Flex applications should be streamlined (again!) for 2.0. Link: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/documentation/en/flex/15/flex_compone nts_themes.pdf Also, read the last chapter of the 1.5 DevApps book which provides info on using the components document for Flex 1.5.
