Not all applications have to have mx:Application at the top level. You can start with Sprite if you want. That's what happens when you create an ActionScript project in Flex Builder. But then you can't use most of the mx: components.

I looked at the generated actionscript and it does look like there's a lot going on, and it's not worth trying to make it work without MXML. Maybe I'll log a bug report requesting that they say in the API doc that the Application class can only (as a practical matter) be used via the <mx:Application> MXML tag. hank williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is what I'm trying to do impossible, at least without adding some amount of setup code that is normally generated by the MXML preprocessor and isn't documented anywhere? __ As I understand it, this is exactly correct. If you compile an MXML with the option on that generates actionscript (I forget how you do this) you will see a lot of generated code even in an MXML hello world. Regards, Han
