Because of pay-as-you-go, the controls do not carry the overhead of being MXML base classes. Also, because we don't want the compiler to be tied to a specific framework/lifecycle, we haven't taught Falcon to generate FlexJS-specific code that could theoretically wrap any component and make it MXML-capable. So for now at least, you will have to make MXML-capable subclasses if you want to use controls as the top tag in an MXML file. We might want to do the same for Container. I think you can follow the example of MXMLBeadView (which extends ContainerView which extends BeadViewBase). -Alex
