Isn't this version 2.0? Or does the component source share almost no code with 1.x versions of Flex?Ah well it's 2 but.. It's 1 in my eyes. This shares the same algorithms in layout. Which is what I am mainly concerned with. As far as I am concerned, it is version 2 Flex, version 1 Flex AS3.
Time and again, I have tried extending components only to find that the important stuff is marked private. I suggest this approach for adobe: mark things as protected by default, not private. Only mark something as private if you're really, really sure it should never be overridden by someone

I know that doesn't solve your problem with say the divided box, you just want to
Isn't this version 2.0? Or does the component source share almost no code with 1.x versions of Flex? I would have expected a 1.x version to be more raw.BTW, I finally gave up on the extension and just cloned the classes. Unfortunately, now my HDividedBoxExt doesn't display properly in FB. Even
Flex 2 framework is almost a total revamping, few things were shared from v1.5, guess they still need time to sharpen it a bit.
and just like you, for so many times I have to clone the whole class
just to modify some of the variables marked private, and ends up with
lot of dupe stuff inside,
