Are you using the Flex IDE? When you type <ns1: .........does it bring up a list? Also, are all the files in the same directory as the .mxml file that has your application container? brad

I've followed everyone's advice, and now I have xmlns:ns1="*" in my WindowedApplication tag, and I have all of my Components referenced as: <ns1:GridView, <ns1:PhotoView, and <ns1:MapView. But, I still get the same 3 errors: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: GridView. 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: PhotoView. 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MapView. Any more suggestions? Thanks!
