mx_internal is easy to access because it's just a namespace.
Simply import mx.core.mx_internal. After the imports type the line: use namespace mx_internal; There should be a complete discussion if you just search through the mailing list archives for 'mx_internal' specifically or you can just read up on namespaces in general in the docs. HOWEVER, mx_internal is not documented or stable. If you use it and an update to the framework is released, there is no guarantee that the update will not break your code. Use at your own risk. - Dan Freiman On 3/28/07, beecee1977 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
P.S. If it's any easier to access an mx_internal variable than a private variable (when sub-classing/extending a control) that'll work too!
