In the Flex 1.5 docs there was a section on how to make a custom component in Flash and how to export it etc for use in Flex. I have noticed that this content is missing from the new Flex 2 docs.
Is this not encouraged anymore or have they just not been included?
I have tried to make a swc component using the directions in the old docs.
I am not very good with Flash at all - but here is what I did:
I am trying something simple - I create a graphic in Flash - in the library, I make the graphic to be a component called Navigator and I have an associated .as class file like this:
class Navigator extends mx.core.UIComponent {
static var symbolName:String="Navigator";
static var symbolOwner:Object="Navigator";
var className:String="Navigator";
function Navigator() {
}
function init() {
super.init();
invalidate();
}
}
I then export this as a swc and call it Navigator.swc. I place this swc file in the root of my app - the same place where the mxml files are. In my main.mxml I then try and instantiate it as <Navigator />
The Flex Builder compiler then says 'Could not resolve <Navigator> to be a component implementation.
Do I need to do anything else?
The end result needs (I guess once I have the basic thing above working) is to have a graphic with a bunch of objects of different shapes that are actually buttons - but they do not look like buttons - they have irregualr edges and I need to be able to disable/enable them from Flex and monitor in Flex when they get clicked etc.
Any idea as to where I am going wrong?
Thanks
Jonathan
