I don't have a lot of experience making custom UI Components, but there is one thing I've noticed several times that doesn't make any sense.
When you add new subcomponents by overriding createChildren, they don't seem to show up at all unless you explicitly set the width and height. For example... var button:Button = new Button(); button.width = 20; // if you don't set these, it doesn't show up button.height = 20; addChild(button); It seems like a lot of the time you would want the button to be just as big as it's going to be, without setting it's width and height. I'm sure there's a way to do this. What am I missing? Please note that I most recently noticed this on a button that was skinned. ~sean
