Hrm, no, not a bug. I thought MXML containers could add IFlexDisplayObjects as children, but I'm wrong.
Basically, the strategy works fine for AS apps, but when working with the frameworks... Try making an Image and setting its source to the class object. That should work, although it may not be what you want. If you want it dynamic, you'll have to make a new base class that implements IUIComponent and does your Embed. No big deal, jsut one more step. Somebody else will have to help with the IUIComponent details, though! -rg > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brendan Meutzner > Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 10:02 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Multi frame swfs not playing > > Is this behaviour a bug then?
