I am using the MDIPanel created by Christophe Coenraets in the Sales
Builder demo code in Flex 2. However, this custom component (MDIPanel)
doesn't seem to receive regular events other than a handful of custome
events (min,max,close,restore). The MDI Panel source code is included
as entails. Since it extends Panel and called "super()" during
initialization, I assume that it would get all regular events coming
in but it is not. For example, I can't use resource bundle to change
the label text or I can't seem to get dataprovider to work within a
datagrid inside the MDIPanel. Any ideas on what's happening here?
