Of course you can pass a runtime-created component to another component as a
parameter. However, the instance will be passed by reference and will still be
bound to the component it was created on. Perhaps you can give some more info
on the requirements you have?
Passing a component as a reference is useful to delegate some work to other
classes. For example, in your case you could use the meta-information inside a
generic "Builder" class that works on a passed in component reference - this
way the Builder could create sub-components on basically any component, i.e.
class Builder {
// ...
static function createComponents(target:UIObject, metaInfo:Object):Void {
// target is the component you want to create your components in
// metaInfo is the meta-information
target.createChild(...);
}
}
This way you can dynamically create sub-components on any given component:
// myCanvas is a Canvas container
var Builder.createComponents(myCanvas);
Just an idea.

That make somethink clear now. I have tried the TabNavigator component and know the createTab() method. That works ok, <http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=ende&p=/Mn4k.&search=excepting>except that the tabs are very small and there's only a very small area where I can place the elements. Even when I try to set the width of the tabs to a predefined pixel size. Is it generally possible to create a component (image, video...) during runtime and pass it as parameter to another component ? As I understand the parent of a component is assigned automatically when the component is created. And the property "parent" is just read-only. Sorry for so many questions ;) .But the most important of our project is to create the UI during runtime based on some 'meta-informations'. Thanks for your patience.
