Hi, If your component class extends from mx.core.View or any of its subclasses (container class) like Box, HBox, VBox etc, your component would have this method automatically.
Following is custom mxml component, which extends form Hbox and you can call createChild(..) on its intstances. For example, see the code below. 1) ##HBoxEx.mxml## <mx:Hbox xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"> //your code </mx:HBox> 2) ##testHBoxEx.mxml## <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" xmlns="*"> <mx:Script> function onHBoxInit() { _hb.createChild(mx.controls.Label, "", {text:"Hello World!"}); } </mx:Script> <local:HBoxEx id="_hb" /> </mx:Application> Hope that helps.. -abdul -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of m00n_de Sent: Friday, June 17, 2005 5:14 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] createChild with custom components hi there, a rookie needs some help ;) My Goal is to create custom Components dynamicly.
