MXML is created for flex, and it's very nice that it has static capability. The style that you are writing, is nice, so no need to change your style limiting it only by AS. People that using only AS better to learn Flex basics, that will help them to understand the architecture of mx/spark components at all. Thank you once again! H.A. Hi, Thank you Peter.

Does this work for you?

Even though it takes more time to write in actionscript, it is the only way to build real applications like creating visual controls/components and containers at run time. I don't find mxml useful because it is used for building static controls. Most of the examples I found online and books are using mxml which is unfair. I need to improve my skill set on Flex. Anyone can drag and drop controls in Flex, and mxml is generated by default. Therefore, I need some examples in actionscript to improve my skills. I appreciated your time and examples on your site. Sincerely, Hi Peter,
