Precia, Two things I see so far - one is there's no () at the end of your new statement (new tester()) and two is you need to add your tester display object to a container using addChild(). Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" creationComplete="onCreate()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import Tester; private function onCreate():void { var tester:Tester = new Tester(); addChild(DisplayObject(tester)); } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> Jeff -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of app.developer Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 12:01 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Call MXML custom component from AS How do you call an mxml custom component from actionscript of another mxml application?
