RE: [flexcoders] A very simple component in AS :(

The doc describes the procedure for creating a component in AS. You can
see it here:

A few things:

You'll need to override measure(), like so:

protected override function measure() : void {
  measuredWidth = _txt.measuredWidth;
  measuredHeight = _txt.measuredHeight;
}

and updateDisplayList(), like so:

protected override function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number) : void
{
  _txt.move(0,0);
  _txt.setActualSize(Math.min(_txt.measuredWidth, w),
Math.min(_txt.measuredHeight, h));
}

That should do it. But this is typed in gmail, not Flex so it's probably
got typos in it :)

Hey there,

I was trying to create a very simple component in as, there was
no error
in compiling. However, I was unable to see the text. :( can you
take a
quick look? thank you

=== AS 

package
{
 import mx.controls.Text;
 import mx.core.UIComponent;

 public class Footer extends UIComponent
 {
  public var title:String;
  private var _txt:Text;

  public function Footer()
  {
   super.setActualSize(50 , 20 );

   _txt= new Text();
   _txt.text = title;
   addChild( _txt );
  }
 }
}

 in main.mxml ===
