Thank you for taking the time to read this tracey. In efforts to better explain, here is another example: ( Note that all files are in the same root folder )
---------------------- AppParent.mxml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:Button x="406" y="242" label="Button"/> </mx:Application> ---------------------- AppChild.mxml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <AppParent xmlns="*" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:Button x="371" y="243" label="Button"/> </AppParent> Does not work since when going into Design Mode in FB I will get an error of: AppParent is an unknown tag Also I tried the following ( with a c: Name Space ) ---------------------- AppChild.mxml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <c:AppParent xmlns:c="*" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:Button x="371" y="243" label="Button"/> </c:AppParent> FB does not show an error BUT will now show my button either and I can not drag any new components to the stage ... HEEEEEEEEEELP :) Thank you for all the help, Sean. --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You might have found a bug in FB.
