One style point you might want to consider is exposing some of the initialization parameters as properties on the component so that they can be specified as MXML tag attributes rather than requiring the client user to define a Script block to invoke a method on it. You would then override the createChildren() method (if you are not doing so already) and read these property values to configure the ElectricArc component. You could then consider making the properties bindable. This would make it very easy for client users of your component to change the parameters at runtime, again without having to invoke methods on your component. For example, it seems that sliders could be used to good effect for some kinds of parameters, or parameters could change in response to other events. Bindings remove a lot of event-listening/registering code and are one of the best features of programming in Flex. e
