First, there's no element type Lab in the mx namespace. Second, even if there was, there is no tag ending to your <mx:Lab statement. Try this (assuming your Lab components are in a directory named lab): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf--8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="HYPERLINK "http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"http://www.adobe.-com/2006/-mxml" xmlns:v="views.-*" xmlns:Lab="lab.*" layout="absolute"-> And in the code: <Lab:componentName attribute="whatever"> </Lab:componentName> ~randy
