Rick Thanks Rick for the suggestions. That is about where I am at this point in my development.
The point the others are trying to make is that you may not need the Canvas layer, you can start you custom controls with the main control directly, either VBox, Datagrid, or any other control, even other custom controls if I understand all of this correctly. What I am currently struggling with is understanding the relationship of ColdFusion and Flex. What is the RemoteObject tag doing exactly? How does it relate to the CFC I have it calling? How do I use this in my multi-layered code? I've read a fair amount of the documentation and I still have a very superficial understanding on what is really going on here. I've successfully run through several tutorials, but they all do things slightly differently and I don't understand what the differences are. So, can anybody provide some enlightment.
