Shouldn't be required, but ok

Can I see what your code looks like now? Both the app and the TestSprite. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 1:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Actionscript sprite within the Flex framework 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? Jason Merrill Bank of America GT&O Learning & Leadership Development eTools & Multimedia Team
