I would expect to have to compile an
<mx:Application> containing the component in order to see anything. Are
you saying that in Beta 2 you could just compile an AS component like
MyTable.as into a SWF and run it?

Please Help
Hello
Gordon,
Some Update:
I found that when I compile only the MyTable.as file, nothing shows
up. When I wrap it in an mxml file, then it works.
----- TestMain.mxml -------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="100%" height="100%"xmlns="*">
<MyTable />
</mx:Application>
------------------
Essentially, my real app has the following
format.
TestMain.mxml calls MyTable, and MyTable calls MyTable1 (which is the same
structure as MyTable).
MyTable1 is called in
MyTable.as file: ---------
override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
// Check to see if style changed.
if (bFillColorsChanged==true)
{
// Redraw gradient fill only if style changed.
fillColorsData=getStyle("fillColors");
graphics.beginGradientFill(GradientType.LINEAR,
fillColorsData,
alphas, ratios);
graphics.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
var table1:MyTable1
= new MyTable1();
addChild(table1);
}
--------------------
It seems to me that the problem I am having in Beta3 is due to the fact that
Beta3 doesn't show the MyTable.as file by itself, it only works when wrapped by
an mxml file.
I hope that this situation has an easy solution as the comp0nent I have been
building took a while to make and a big change would be a bit of a disaster.
Thanks again for helping out on this. Definitely Appreciated Big Time.
Cheers,
Tim
