The problem is i'm also interested in objects before creation. I'm actually interested in the className but if the component hasn't been created, you get 'undefined' eg var mycomponent = container[i]; // container=a flex container var myclassname = mycomponent.className //myclassname always=undefined if component hasnt been created However, childDescriptors does have info about children before its created. My idea was to make the @id same as the className, then i can do this var myclassname = container[i].childDescriptors[i2].id This works but i dont want to go round giving all my components @id. i tried id = className early on which works, but the childDescriptors array doesnt pick it up. thanks --- In [email protected], Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm not sure why you want the id to be the same as the class name.
