I assume your extended Button is in a package of some kind, so just do this -
<my:Button xmlns:my="my.package.components" text="hello world" /> The xmlns:my attribute lets Flex know which button you are referring to, and using the my: prefix tells Flex which package to look in. You can add the xmlns statement to the root MXML tag to avoid typing it again and again. But if you're looking for something similar in AS, I think you're out of luck - http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2007/03/actionscript_4_import_alias_where_is.php 2009/2/18 dorkie dork from dorktown <[email protected]>: > During the discussion of the Fx prefix thing I was reminded when I was > creating my own classes of the same name.
