Ah. nice tip. I'll give that a try.

Although normal children of a Container must be a IUIComponent, you
can add a plain Sprite as a "raw child" of a Container:
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();

myContainer.rawChildren.addChild(s);
A raw child doesn't get managed by the LayoutManager, so you must
position and size it yourself.

I think that is correct. Quoting Alex, “Navigator children must be
Containers, Container children must be IUIComponents, and
UIComponent children can be anything.”

I think technically there's just an interface that has to be
implemented on whatever you add (IFlexDisplayObject? IUIComponent?).
If you extend Sprite or whatever and implement whichever one is
needed,
you could add it to a container.
