A couple of big caveats here.
1. mx.utils.ObjectCopy is broken. (At least, in the Flex 1.5
distribution.) It does not correctly preserve the class of an object
when that class is a subclass of some superclass. Instead, the copied
object will appear to have the type of the superclass.

I don't have the answer, but I would very much expect that this is
doable purely by employing DHTML and JavaScript in the enclosing web
page, without involving Flex in any way. As such, you may have more
luck searching resources that have to do with DHTML and scripting,
rather than Flex.

You can use relative paths. Relative paths in arguments to the java

Well, you can always run MXMLC itself, because it's a Java program. The

I note that running MXMLC is not exactly the same as the MXML
generation, because you have to pass in some args that pertain to the

The trouble here is that you are only evaluating the condition once,
when you create the button.
You will need to add a listener to the dataProvider(s) that causes the

You can do everything that you want to do in Flex. But due to the
