-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am trying to understand and learn how to create my own custom components for my flex based applications and have ran into a problem I can not resolve. My custom component works if nothing has been placed on the stage but it will not display if I place a panel on the stage. Here is my code:
package myComponents { import mx.controls.Label; public class SelectSchoolBuildingsLabel extends Label { private function initComponent():void { var SchoolBuildingLabel:Label = new Label(); SchoolBuildingLabel.text = "Select School Building"; } } } In my mxml file if I remove the panel component on the stage so the only code is the mx:application I can insert <myComponents:SelectSchoolBuildingsLabel /> which will display the label with the associated text, however if I insert the following code I will not get the label on the screen <mx:Panel {Options set are layout, id, title, right, left, top and bottom}> <mx:VBox> <mx:HBox paddingLeft="10" paddingTop="10"> <mx:Label text="mx:Label Select School Building" /> <myComponents:SelectSchoolBuildingsLabel /> </mx:HBox> </mx:VBox> </mx:Panel> I do get the mx:Label being displayed however myCompoent is not being displayed. What have I missed. My idea for this component is to also include a combo box which will list the available school buildings for a specific school corporation. Suggestions and/or Ideas? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (MingW32) Comment: GnuPT 2.6.2.1 by EQUIPMENTE.DE Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEVAwUBRtVL0HnjLHMPlkANAQIiuwf9H/KSnZcAn6OdZerC6sLpjNtDkWEhff6S x2kGMVUcNAJMVDo1Ggq/hXUtiDeCN8GBqeeK5eOrTuR9ejnljyFyrLSBL0SAxdgS 1AGy6QsSEW2o8FtbmZPJROdNl/o0moXfoMBcF05h5F/1/SE2lS0Kru1ecgKAJ+8K wJhnFTye/1tubBQQiyGstGuCo9uyenfvpGkMQJCZfWaaHMLgIDb4alsRSyiVEY5U /TlZl8aFbhX9qplwj5K+mzQO9RUAbXDtYnvhRwXdokQl2V87UxqzlvkO8mNLLPzj UJu49fIMNFpws++nnKttJUpPNCC7GIoarz4G3YaaD4yy3+QdHe54Zw== =6HlH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
