You normally override commitProperties() when you want to be able to set properties in any order and do something later after you know all their values. To ensure that commitProperties() gets called, call invalidateProperties() in the property setters.

Flex loads randomly the attributes. I have one called autoplay that if it is set in true play a song, but first I need Flex sets the url attribute. How can I manage this?

I have a custom component made by myself. I have to asign the values from the tag's attributes to some object when they are being created in the constructor custom component time. The problem is that Flex doesn't load the attributes when it calls the the constructor and therefore I cant constructor the component. I hope you understand.
