Flex components must live inside an Application. You can subclass Application and get everything to work via AS3, but it's a lot of work, and you won't save any SWF size

Is it absurd to try to code a simple app in pure as3 that uses flex components like Button and Scrollbar? I've been trying and ran into problems with a bug in the Flex framework having to do with resources (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12205 <http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12205> ), used Rob Jellinghaus's workaround, and came up with this simple code, below. The sprite will draw itself, but the button does not show up. Could anyone tell me if there's something basic I'm not understanding, or am I making a simple dumb mistake? Thanks! Jack package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.StageAlign; import flash.display.StageScaleMode; import flash.system.ApplicationDomain; import mx.containers.Canvas; import mx.controls.Button; import mx.controls.Label; import mx.core.Singleton; public class ShellAS3 extends Sprite { public function ShellAS3() { var resourceManagerImpl:Object = flash.system.ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition("mx.resources ::ResourceManagerImpl"); Singleton.registerClass("mx.resources::IResourceManager",Class(resourceM anagerImpl)); init(); } private function init():void{ stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; var ball:Sprite = new Sprite(); addChild(ball); ball.x = 20; ball.y = 100; ball.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000); ball.graphics.drawCircle(0,0,40); ball.graphics.endFill(); var bt:Button = new Button(); bt.x = 200; bt.y = 200; bt.width=100; bt.height = 20; bt.label = "Click"; addChild(bt); } } }
