You may want to try SkinnableComponent as lowest point to easily inherit from.

How do I write an mxml file that includes custom visual elements? Can they be extensions of Sprite? In a little example program I wrote, I got an error that said something about my object declaration was not assignable to mx.core.IVisualElement. Here's what I wrote. The second to last line contains the declaration for a Sprite-based class. The error I got was - 'AnotherSprite' declaration must be contained within the Declarations tag, since it is not assignable to the default property's element type 'mx.core.IVisualElement' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"; xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:exper="exper.*"> <s:layout> <s:VerticalLayout/> </s:layout> <s:TextInput id="myTI" text="Enter text here"/> <s:Label id="myText" text="{myTI.text.toUpperCase()}"/> <exper:AnotherSprite/> </s:Application>
