If I were to create my renderer in a seperate class would I still be able to use the tag, and thus the outerDocument property? Or is this limited to inline renderers?
Hi !
For me icons are on the right !!!!! with the same full code. WHY ?
Thanks
Melaine
I want a simple Button Dropdown
Ex: when I click the button, the drop down should be having two more option, so when I click the first button it should pop a Alert Box, and when I click the Second option it should open a Popup..
Please help me to get the solution for this
Thanks

Hi, why the Flex team fixed the header class to the Button class?
I had to copy/paste all the ***** code of the Accordion.as file to remove all the casts to Button in order to have a HBox in my accordion Header ;-)
