Thanks for the answer, and I'm so sorry for the erroneous posting, but I guessed this would fit in the non UIComponent component category, such as Effects, Formatters, Validators, etc.
So, how would I be doing the component with what you say, if I need it to be visible intermittently, (but the logic always working). I'm not sure how to actually do the [Embed] bit inside the component an assign it to itself. Thanks, Claudia On 5/15/07, Josh Tynjala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
If that's the case, the flexcomponents list probably isn't the correct place to post your question. This group is all about building components for Flex, and UIComponent is sort of a core part of that. I'll answer your question anyway, since its an easy one. [Embed(source="image.png")] private var myImage:Class; With that simple code, your image will be embedded, and you can use it like any display object class. It will not be a subclass of UIComponent, so you cannot use it within Flex containers or anywhere UIComponent is required. var instance:DisplayObject = new myImage(); I believe you can type instances as Bitmap, but I'm not 100% certain.

I don't want the overhead involved using anything spawned of the UIComponent. Thanks, Claudia
