I'm a newbie to but it seems to me that you need to be saying xmlns:namespace = "directoryname.*" "namespace" can be whatever you want. I use "ns1" and put my stuff in a directory named Components. so my declaration looks like this: xmlns:ns1="Components.*" brad

I've read through the tutorial (http://livedocs. <http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex3/html/mxmlcomponents_2.html#150594> adobe.com/labs/flex3/html/mxmlcomponents_2.html#150594), and for some reason I can't my Flex app to recognize my Components. I have 3 components, GridView.mxml, PhotoView.mxml, and MapView.mxml, all of which extent the Canvas container. Here's my entire main MXML application file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe. <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" layout="absolute" minWidth="950" minHeight="600" pageTitle="Employee Directory"> <mx:Style source="main.css"/> <mx:VBox width="900" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" horizontalCenter="0" top="12"> <mx:ApplicationControlBar id="acb" width="100%"> <mx:ToggleButtonBar height="100%" dataProvider="{employeeDisplay}"> </mx:ToggleButtonBar> </mx:ApplicationControlBar> <mx:ViewStack id="employeeDisplay" width="100%" height="500" creationPolicy="all"> <GridView id="GridView" label="Employee Grid" styleName="colorPanel" width="900" height="500" showEffect="WipeDown" hideEffect="WipeUp" /> <PhotoView id="PhotoView" label="Photos" styleName="colorPanel" width="900" height="500" showEffect="WipeDown" hideEffect="WipeUp" /> <MapView id="MapView" label="Map" styleName="colorPanel" width="900" height="500" showEffect="WipeDown" hideEffect="WipeUp" /> </mx:ViewStack> </mx:VBox> </mx:WindowedApplication> I keep getting the following 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. Do any of you experts see what could be wrong or have any idea what's going on? Any suggestions you can provide will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Eric
