David, I just re-read your original post, and I'm wondering what you mean by the following:
"when I try to create a class in the inline code of an mxml page " The first time I read this, I assumed that you meant that you were instantiating a class in an MXML file. Is that what you meant? Or are you actually trying to write a class within the <mx:Script> block of an MXML file? If it's the latter, then that's your problem. You should create the AS class in its own separate file. -Jim --- In [email protected], David Steele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I now have the following, but I get the same error: > > import flash.display.Sprite; > import flash.events.*; > import flash.net.XMLSocket; > public class socket extends UIComponent > { > ... > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Jim Robson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, January 9, 2007 10:58:54 AM > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Referring to created AS class from within MXML > > David, > > DisplayObjects (Sprite, Shape, Bitmap) can't generally be used > directly in MXML.
