rawChildren is where you put things that you don't want the container to measure/size/layout. Items in rawChildren are also not accessible via container.getChildAt() and other methods like that.
The best example I can personally give is in the context of flexmdi. To make the windows resizable we add invisible buttons to rawChildren that run along the edges of the window. We also add the window controls (minimize, maximize, etc buttons) to rawChildren as they need to sit in the title bar of the window, not in the content area below the title bar. Hopefully that gives you an idea of when you'd use rawChildren. I guess "non-content children" might be a good way to describe it.

I have no idea what the API is talking about when it is giving the explanation in ASdoc. Basically if you want to add a shape but not want it to be part of the Container then add it to thr rawChildren? > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Looking for last minute shopping deals? > Find them fast with Yahoo!
