Hi Louie -
There are a lot of resources including trolling this list and flexcoders for information and helpful posts. Additionally, check out the following: Quick Start on building custom components: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/building_components_in_mxml/ Livedocs chapter on creating and extending flex 2 components: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp .htm?href=Part3_CreateComps.html Ely's blog entry about the RandomWalk component that talks a component developer through creating, skinning, styling, wiring up events, adding attributes & properties, etc to any custom component. The blog entry has some wise explanations as well as a link to the fully commented code example: http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/randomwalk-component/ Those are just some places to start.

Hi, I want to create a timestamp component where the user can select the elements for their timestamp. I'd like the component to function similarly to the DateField component, where the DateChooser opens up and floats over everything. Here, the user will be able to select date, time, timezone. etc. Is there a basic "create your first component class" howto? Thanks in advance. Louie
