Re: [flexcoders] Still Need Example of Custom Component Built in Flash

Yeah, It kinda sucks that Flex Builder doesn't give you introspection of 
the custom components you create.

I guess that's just how it is though.

There must be a way for my SWC's to easily integrate with FB.

Depending on what you want to achieve with the component, you can write
it as an ActionScript file and put it in a directory where Flex can find
it. The simplest is to put it in the same directory as the file where
you want to use it.
So say you had the code below saved as CustomPanel.as
You could call it from within an MXML file in the same directory like this:
CustomExample.mxml
*******************
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
xmlns:user="*">
<user:CustomPanel id="myPanel" label="click to maximize" />
<mx:Button label="Click to resize panel."
click="myPanel.resize(400,500);"/>
</mx:Application>
********************
CustomPanel.as
*****************************
import mx.containers.Panel;
class CustomPanel extends Panel {
function CustomPanel() {
super();
}
function resize(newWidth:Number,newHeight:Number) {
width = newWidth;
height = newHeight;
}
}
**************************************
Depending on exactly what you want to do in ActionScript, you may or may
not be able to achieve it without going into Flash Studio and creating a
.swc file.
Does that answer the question?

Coding it in Flash isn't hard... it's installing the mofo that I don't

how to do. The docs say you can use an SWC, but where said SWC goes, is
beyond me. I managed to throw one in here:

C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flex Builder
1.5\Configuration\Objects\MXML\WEB-INF\flex\frameworks
ANd it shows up as a "no package" tab when you reboot FlexBuilder, but has
no size when dragged to a form (even though width and height default to
values), nor does it compile, complaining about my classpath or something.
Anyway, that's the key part that's missing I think. DevNet article 
anyone?

Hello,
Would someone be willing to post a simple example of a custom
component built in Flash for use in Flex? The simpler the better. Thanks.
