If you package it as a SWC and then add that compiled SWC to a Flex
project then it will show up in the Design View just like the normal
button. So create a new Flex Library Project, add you Button.as file,
specify the AS classes to include (by changing the properties of the
library project), and then build the project. That will make a .SWC file
in the bin directory. Now you can reference this SWC in other Flex Projects.

Hi,
I am trying to go through the Button source code to examine how it is
written, I have copied the original Button.as into a new package, and
I rename the package. I copy the styles folder, Version.as and
Button.png into my relative folder too. It compiles, and exist in the
Component panel of the builder. However, when I drag it into the UI
area and drog, nothing is render except a small rectangle. I can click
on it and specified the width and height in the properties panel.
After specifying the width and height, it is showing a empty
transparent rectangle in the design view, clicking on it can see the
border, but can see the button image. It works fine when I run the
application. May I know how does the Flex builder render the custom
component when I drag and drop from the component window? Am I
missing something there?
Thanks in advance for any help.
