Flash does not clip by default so drawing in the graphics area will usually show. I don't have time to poke at your files right now, but if you've set the width/height and/or called setActualSize on the component, it should report its new width and should display accordingly.

Besides, if I just draw a rectangle in the graphics of the child object, it displays properly, without having to set any dimensions in the parent.

You'll probably have to set the size and position of the component. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Elie Zananiri Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 1:55 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Using the Flex Component Kit in an ActionScript project Hi again, So I checked the link-report XML and the SWC seems to get loaded. Also, the debugger shows that the Object gets instantiated, but its x, y, width, and height are 0. I've uploaded my work files (http://www.silentlycrashing.net/flex2flash.zip) <http://www.silentlycrashing.net/flex2flash.zip)> , if anyone has a minute, could you have a look at it and see if you can find the problem?

Here's what I'm doing: In Flash: 1. Creating an MC symbol in Flash. 2. Giving it name="SomeName", class="SomeName", and base class="mx.flash.UIMovieClip". 3. Right-clicking on the symbol in the library and exporting it as an SWC file called "SomeNameUIMC.swc". In Flex Builder: 4. Creating a new ActionScript project with main application file "SomeOtherName.as". 5. Importing the SWC file to the library path. 6. Creating a new class called "SomeName.as" which extends "mx.flash.UIMovieClip". 7. Instancing "SomeName" in "SomeOtherName" and adding it to the canvas. Now when I run this, I don't get any compilation errors, but the display is blank. I don't think my SWC file is being linked to the class, but I don't see any info on h! ow to do this. All the tutorials I found online are using mxmlc, so is it possible that the Component Kit only works with Flex projects? If not, does anyone have any examples working on ActionScript projects or can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for the help, -Elie
