[flexcoders] Cannot resolve to a component implementation

[Giles Roadnight]

Hi All

I am trying to extend the LinkButton component to replace the label
with a multiline text field. I have tried to extend the link button
component first with a as file:

[code]
package com.company.util
{
        import mx.controls.LinkButton;

        public class TextLinkButton extends LinkButton
        {
                public function TextLinkButton()
                {
                        super();
                }
                
        }
}
[/code]

and then with an mxml file:

[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:LinkButton xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";>
        
</mx:LinkButton>
[/code]

with both of them I get the error:

Could not resolve <com.company.util.TextLinkButton> to a component
implementation.

What am I doing wrong?

(while I am here any pointers on how to replace the label with a text
field would be great).

Thanks for the help.
