Makes sense, since you're overriding Container._childDescriptors anyway. But why on earth would you *want* to do this? -Josh On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 9:08 AM, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Any attempt to subclass an MXML Component based on a container to add other children to it usually

Any attempt to subclass an MXML Component based on a container to add other children to it usually results in some issue or another, usually that thing about children have already been defined, so you can't really make a template app

Alex, I definitely understand the need for this, but I'd use components is all. I can see how it'd be useful though. I'd have to poke around inside the generated actionscript, but I'm sure this could be hacked up without *too* much shenanigans to work with the current compiler. I might take a
