OK - thank you. I guess my core question is, if I want to draw directly on the _level0 stage, the way to pass that UI object to a class which draws on it is to do UIComponent(Application.application) ? That seems a little convoluted, but that's how it's done? I could create a canvas and pass

OK - not understanding something here. Application.application.container? I'm trying to figure out the base UI class I can add sprite children to. I have a class which draws objects, and I want those objects to be drawn in my flex app. So here is the simplified version of the code below. The

You should just be able to pass in Spite(Application.application) Doing so gives an implicit coercion error: 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:Sprite to a possibly unrelated type mx.core:UIComponent. Jason Merrill Bank of America LLD GTO eTools Multimedia

But yeah - cool preview of Flash 10, the next version of Fireworks which has a Flex designer, and the one that blew everyone away, a product they are working on called Thermo - super rich Flex UI designer and MXML outputter thingy. I'm going to try and upload some photos to Flickr soon.

I was there for the Thermo demo (which was awesome), and they basically said Thermo is for designing Flex apps and jump-starting the basic interactivity between components - it's not going to be targeted at doing the full-blown architecture/business logic/coding of am MXML app. You can have a

RE: [flexcoders] What Thermo is.

Yes - from what I saw in the demo, I would think of it as Flex's design view on steroids. In fact, it's possible that instead of it being a separate product, they make it the design view of Flex 4 (though in the demo it was definitely a separate product). Jason Merrill Bank of America

I hope nobody minds the non-Flex question here, though it does have to do with the Flash platform. Flashcoders is down still (over a week now), and the other Flash forums I know of suck. I have an enterprise application I built with Flash 8 and Actionscript 2.0 last spring. Has worked great

You have two class statements, and if you keep the top one, you have imports below the class statement, which is a no-no. So what you have is: package class import class constructor other methods But what you should have instead is: package import class constructor other methods Jason
