Gordon, I'm not sure how to subclass and I don't know how to find out. I have the Flex 2 training from the source book and it doesn't mention subclasses. As a newbie to flex/as3 I find that flex is easy to use if I can see an example or it's standard functionality. What's hard to do is the customization. It's not that the code is hard, it's finding out how to write the code (hope that makes sense). I can't seem to find a place that tells me how to do the advanced customization that I want to do. Maybe I just don't know where to look though.
