Matt:
I'm adding UIComponents to the display list - I guess that wouldn't work this way. What's the best way to propagate a method to UIComponents? Can I just create new UIObjects and add them as children to my display list or do I have to create class files and extend my classes that way? As you see I'm relatively new to flex and I thank you for your time. patrick Matt Chotin wrote: > > Is the whole parent hierarchy DisplayObjects?
