try putting your Button inside your custom component and creating a instance var inside your custom component that you can pass in the Repeater call. Me thinks what you are trying is telling Flex to pass an array of Button to your custom component.
so have VB.mxml look like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="100" height="100"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ [Bindable] private var inNum:Number; ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Button height="49" width="50" label="{inNum.toString()}" /> </VBox> and the main.mxml look like <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns:local="*"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ [Bindable] private var dp:Array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]; ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Repeater id="rp" dataProvider="{dp}"> <local:VB inNum="{rp.currentItem}"> </mx:Repeater> </mx:Application> might have some syntax issue, I didn't get a chance to test this. Note, if dp is modified in anyway at runtime, this approach would probably require you to override the getter/setter on inNum.
