Heh,On that note :: I reread what I wrote and noticed something that some might not see right off the bat.this part ;override protected function updateDisplayList({ super.updateDisplayList
(... mySlider.move(... mySlider.setActualSize(...}Should be (since you are doing this at runtime not createChildren();override protected function updateDisplayList({ super.updateDisplayList
(... if (mySlider) { mySlider.move(... mySlider.setActualSize(... }}
Always protect dynamic stuff like this. Then dumb runtime erros like this become a thing of the past.:)Peace, Mike

The documentation has most of this covered... See this topic on
creating Advanced Visual components, and all the sub-topics. Read
several times. Example is in there too.

This page specifically has an example on overriding the layout
mechanism of the VBox container:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/1737.html
Here's a thread in flex-coders discussing the "correct" way to
dynamically add child components to a custom container:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/47695
That should be enough to get you going (if you read, try, re-read, etc...)
good luck!
