Thanks Valdhor.
I think my level of knowledge with regards to the power of Flex is not yet even
in elementary, so pardon my lack of knowledge.
On a positive note, I feel am getting there.
And with a great group like this where you are able to get proper answers from
the masters themselves, you sure know you're taking the right direction.
Regards.
Angelo

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Using Just Some Components of Flexlib
"Elementary, my dear Watson".
Create a directory named "flexlib" inside your src directory. Inside that
directory create a new directory named "controls". Place the
PromptingTextInput. as file inside this directory.
To use the control, first add the namespace to the component you wish to use it
with (Or the Application) ...
xmlns:flexlibcontro ls="flexlib. controls. *"
Secondly, instantiate the control in MXML...
<flexlibcontrols: PromptingTextInp ut prompt="Prompt Goes Here"/>
So, a full application example could look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf- 8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http: //www.adobe. com/2006/ mxml" layout="absolute"
xmlns:flexlibcontro ls="flexlib. controls. *">
<flexlibcontrols: PromptingTextInp ut prompt="Prompt Goes Here"/>
</mx:Application>
