RE: [flexcoders] Instantiating object in MXML

[Matt Chotin]

Hmm, I thought we had removed that rule, but it’s generally just a parsing restriction.  A faceless component isn’t contained by visual containers so it shouldn’t be nested inside of them in MXML.   Beyond coding style this shouldn’t really affect you, right?   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Sergey Kovalyov Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 8:05 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Instantiating object in MXML   Yes, you are right. But I implemented IMXMLObject interface. My class instantiates in the root of the component, but nowhere else. On the other hand native RadioButtonGroup that is also inherited from EventDispatcher, not UIComponent, could be instantiated even inside nested containers. Why so?
