Hey Sascha,
I hope this is what you were looking for.
I have a class which extends Sprite as below:
package {
public class myShape extends Sprite {
.
.
.
.
.
}
}
Now I have my owns custom component class file which I have added as follows:
First in the Application tag of your mxml file, mention a additional attribute
as 'xmlns:greet="com.*"'. Here refer to the package where your custom component
class is.
Now use following to add the component to the Flex mxml file:
<greet:test id="apiref" />
Here 'greet' is the xmlns which we added in the application tag and 'test'
is my custom component class. You have to be careful to extend your custom
component class with the UIComponent class like:
package com {
//import myShape class if not in same package.
public class test extends UIComponent {
..
public function test() {
var shapeObj:myShape = new myShape();
addChild(shapeObj);
}
.
}
}
Now in the test class you can add the earlier Sprite extended class by creating
its object as above.
This should solve your purpose. Now the above mentioned test class can extend
any of the Classes like Canvas, or any container class. But UIComponent
happens to be the base class to all the container classes n so UIComponent
could be best opted choice.
Regards,
Amol.

Subject: [flexcoders] Getting a Sprite into a Flex Container?
Hi,
I got a class that extends Sprite that I want to put into a Flex
DisplayObject container (Canvas or any similar custom made component). My
question is:
Is implementing the IUIComponent interface the only way to get this working
or
Are there any other ways around it? A SWFLoader is not what can use in this
situation. Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sascha
