Hey, I'm new to Flex Builder and trying to create a button at runtime in an
ActionScript project.
Flex Builder won't compile the AS 3 code below because the 'type is not
found'.
I know in flash we have to drag the component to the library or it won't
show up on stage. Is there a comparable procedure using Flex Builder? Do I
need to attach a .fla to my ActionScript project in Flex Builder? (if so
how?)
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import mx.controls.Button; // thought
this should help the compiler find the runtime
public class Generic_DB extends Sprite {
public function Generic_DB() {
var stopButton:Button; // Type is not
found or not a compile-time constant:Button
stopButton = new Button(); // Call to a possibly
undefined method 'Button'
this.addChild(stopButton);
}
}
}
I got to this point from the code listing at:

ents
Thanks,
mike
