It depends. Just like in Flex 3, there are some “rules” to being a child component in the Flex framework and Wprites are generally too low-level to be used everywhere. There is documentation and examples on writing a custom component and various methods you have to implement to get the component to display correctly. The rules are a bit different for Flex 4, but mostly the same.
You can probably use Group or SpriteVisualElement instead of Sprite but again, they may not size correctly unless you follow the rules.

Here is some code: <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ private const spr1:Sprite = new Sprite(); private const spr2:Sprite = new Sprite(); private function init():void { spr1.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 0.5); spr1.graphics.drawRect(10, 10, 100, 80); spr1.graphics.endFill(); dom.addChild(spr1); spr2.graphics.beginFill(0x0000FF, 0.3); spr2.graphics.drawRect(20, 20, 80, 100); spr2.graphics.endFill(); dom.addChild(spr2); } ]]> </fx:Script> <s:Sprite x="33" y="38" width="200" height="200" id="dom"> </s:Sprite> Now if I change the Sprite to a Button it works as expected and it does because the Button subclasses spark.components so if that is the only way to get around it what would be the spark.component that would give me the freedom I want?
