Cheers Jake - thanks for the reply. @Oleg: I was trying to find out if there was a 'DOM' within Flex to easily access to the Containers and other Objects but I guess the more correct way to ask, would've been to question how Flex manages components but I didn't want to open the doors about the

Sorry if I caused disruption :) Yes, the terminology you used is confusing. What you are referring to is Flex framework, but it is not the only way to go about visual components in Flex, other component frameworks exist. It is also not uncommon to write components yourself (unlike in desktop

Well, this really depends on the background and jargon you are used to... Most of PHP / C# people I know would use DOM for things like DOMDocument or XmlDocument. Also, it's not uncommon to mean Flex SDK when you say Flex, and not Flex visual components. I wouldn't bet on percentage though :)
