First, you're extending Sprite, so they're NOT children of _the_ UIComponent, since there is not a UIComponent involved. Second, when you draw with the graphics methods, Flex knows how big to make it because you gave it the coordinates. I think what everyone has been trying to tell you is that if you want to see the Image inside a UIComponent, you need to do at least two things: First, actually make sure the parent IS a UIComponent. Second, you need to explicitly give it a size. I think the conventional method for doing this is to call setActualSize() on the child image. I think the conventional place to do this is updateDisplayList(), though I'm no whiz kid and I could be wrong. HTH; Amy
