Its actually quite easy. Create a folder inside your project, lets say we call it 'views'.
Inside there create a mxml component in our example lets say login panel, extend the component from the panel class. Put whatever elements on that login panel you like, like a label for username and password, then text inputs for username and password and a login button. Save the component. Back in your main file. You could actually get rid of the canvas component you have there inside the viewstack. Instead, add this line to the application tag at the top of the main file. xmlns:views="views.*" this will allow you to reference the files you created under the views folder. then in your viewstack, instead of the first canvas component instead put this line in there. <views:LoginPanel /> Now your code should look like this for the view stack. <mx:ViewStack> <views:LoginPanel /> </mx:ViewStack> this will tell flex to go out to the name space you created in the application tag, and import the LoginPanel custom component you created into the main document. If you have other views for your app, you could also create them in such a way. So if you also inside your views folder created a View2.mxml file and a View3.mxml file then your view stack would look like this: <mx:ViewStack> <views:LoginPanel /> <views:View2 /> <views:View3 /> </mx:ViewStack> Hope this helps. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "kmorland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am a newbie using Flex.
