repeater object within a container (I used VBox in the sample, but
any container should do).
You can use createClassObject() to create child objects at runtime
in AS. MovieClip.attachMovie() should be there as well, although I
can't remember ever seeing it used in a Flex app. Typically, you'll
see createClassObject() used in custom controls that extend an
existing class, or for specific applications where child objects
need to be created dynamically in actionscript as opposed to mxml.
Hope that helps!
