Hi dj, I found what I think is the same problem this morning, and here is what I figured out. I am developing with Flex Builder 2b3. I have an application that includes a custom MXML component that is based on Panel. When the application includes the panel-based custom component, it fails to initialize. When I remove the panel-based custom component, it initializes. When I include the custom component but wrap it in a canvas, it intializes.
The problem only occurs under the release Flash 9 player. Everything runs fine under FlDbg9a.ocx, so I assume that is why you and your co-worker got different results. Here is some sample code that produces the error. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns:myComps="components.*" layout="absolute"> <myComps:Dummy/> </mx:Application> and the component <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Dummy.mxml --> <mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" width="400" height="300"> <mx:Text text="Hello!"/> </mx:Panel> This generates no compile errors, but fails to initialize. The initializing progress bar displays, but stops at about 1/3, and the app never launches. I hacked around the problem by wrapping my panel in a canvas, as follows. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Hacky.mxml --> <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="400" height="300"> <mx:Panel> <mx:Text text="Hello from a panel in a canvas."/> </mx:Panel> </mx:Canvas> This works as expected. Hope this helps. I am hoping that this is just a problem with the beta3 builder, and that it will go away after I install the release version.
