Not exactly :-) If It extends Sprite, the result is "grey-gradient" standard flex bg, w/o any traces of my objects. Trace commands are executed nice, however. If I make the main class extending mx.core.Application then, in addition to tracing messages, I can see my (white) background and "initializing" progress bar. But: === [Fault] exception, information=TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.core::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent. Fault, addingChild() at Container.as:3301 === where FlexSprite is used in code: var triangle:FlexSprite = new FlexSprite( ); // drawing a triangle... addChild(triangle); And it's addChild() that causes the error (no error with addChild() commented). So far, it looks strange for me, as the argument's type of mx.core.Application.addChild() is DisplayObject. Thoughts?
