Well, kind of. I understand why the Hbox only uses solid inset, outset because of the clip mask right? I think I tried setting the border to something else and the compiler threw an error. I am extending Hbox but, want a border that can be set to whatever borderStyle. The reason is the component I am making uses no clipMasking just the HBox sizing algorithm.
This is one thing that would be nice is a way to composite that algorithm so a Flex2 component dev could use the sizing algorithm without all the baggage of the Container class. Or can you with a utility class already ?
Thanks! This is what I was missing. I did understand that adding a "border" was not a content child. As this goes for all new assets found within a container component.
It helped man! Thanks.

I'm assuming you're creating a new component that has nothing to do
with HBox, because HBox already has the border functionality built in.
Or I'm assuming you're extending HBox but adding a new skin (not
border).
Either way...

The top-level class to use for creating programmatic skins is -- you
guessed it -- ProgrammaticSkin. It implements the IFlexDisplayObject
interface.
Skins are not "content children" of a Container, so the way to add
these objects is to add them through the allChildrenList API.
allChildrenList.addChild()

Let me know if you have any quesitons. Hope this helps!
