Re: [flexcoders] Actionscript sprite within the Flex framework
The first error says you need the TestSprite class to be defined like:
public class TestSprite extends Sprite
The second error I initially thought was because the application
addChild takes a UICompoent, but according to the help docs what you
have 'should' work. I would try casting it as a DisplayObject although
this probably isn't the correct way to fix it.
mxmlApp.addChild(testSprite as DisplayObject);

RE: [flexcoders] Actionscript sprite within the Flex framework
Even though the API says addChild takes DisplayObject, we can't override
function signatures. The rules in Flex are:
Navigator can only take Containers
Containers can only take IUIComponents
UIComponents can take anything.
So put in a UIComponent tag and put the test sprite in there.

RE: [flexcoders] Actionscript sprite within the Flex framework
Alex, thanks, but changing to your code suggestion, I still get an
error,
Main Thread (Suspended: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property host not
found on MyTestApplication and there is no default value.)
and I think it is because EntryClass.main() gets called on the event
applicationComplete, so the id for the UICompoenent does not exist yet,
since it is further down the MXML. Chicken and egg thing, and not sure
how to fix?

Shouldn't be, appcomplete is way late, long after host is ready.
Can I see what your code looks like now? Both the app and the
TestSprite.

Alex, thanks, but changing to your code suggestion, I still get
an error,
Main Thread (Suspended: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property
host not found on MyTestApplication and there is no default value.)
and I think it is because EntryClass.main() gets called on the
event applicationComplete, so the id for the UICompoenent does not exist
yet, since it is further down the MXML. Chicken and egg thing, and not
sure how to fix?

wait -thanks guys - changing to extends UICOmponent instead seems to
have fixed it:
