In Beta2, it worked without being wrapped. One of the reasons for this
was that instead of using the updateDisplayList, I was drawing the box
in the contructor,it didn't have rely on the Flex framework to call
the updateDisplayList. The reason for doing this was that I wanted
the app to work as a stand alone AS in addition to being a Flex app.
Cheers,
Tim
