Why do you need to prevent usage through MXML? MXML is compiled down to ActionScript, so it's essentially just syntactic sugar. That is, by preventing using your components through MXML, you are just removing a convenient interface, and not restricting functionality. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com

Taking it a step further is it possible to create an ActionScript class extended from Panel that cannot be constructed using MXML tags? G'day Mike
