That is not exactly what I have. Yes, I too have an mxml class based on another AS class. But I am creating an instance of my mxml class like this: var newMyClass:MyClass = new MyClass(); So, how can I pass a value for myProperty to newMyClass? My understanding as soon as var newMyClass:MyClass = new MyClass(); executes all children on newMyClass will be created but I need to have myProperty before that.
