wait -thanks guys - changing to extends UICOmponent instead seems to
have fixed it:
//App:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" applicationComplete="EntryClass.main()">
<mx:UIComponent id="host" />
</mx:Application>
//ActionScript file Entry Class:
package
{
import mx.core.Application;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class EntryClass
{
public static function main():void
{
var testSprite:TestSprite = new TestSprite(12, 100, 100);
var host:UIComponent = Application.application.host;
host.addChild(testSprite);
}
}
}
// ActionScript file TestSprite:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class TestSprite extends UIComponent
{
private var _x:int;
private var _y:int;
private var _radii:int
public function TestSprite(size:int, posx:int, posy:int)
{
x = posx;
y = posy;
_radii = size;
graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFFCC33);
graphics.beginFill(0xCC3300, 1);
graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, _radii);
graphics.endFill();
}
}
}

Shouldn't be, appcomplete is way late, long after host is ready.
Can I see what your code looks like now? Both the app and the
TestSprite.

Alex, thanks, but changing to your code suggestion, I still get
an error,
Main Thread (Suspended: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property
host not found on MyTestApplication and there is no default value.)
and I think it is because EntryClass.main() gets called on the
event applicationComplete, so the id for the UICompoenent does not exist
yet, since it is further down the MXML. Chicken and egg thing, and not
sure how to fix?
