I was creating a skin today and I need to be able to create children within the skin and add them to it’s display list. This wasn’t possible when extending Border or ProgrammaticSkin as they are not DisplayObjectContainers, they extend FlexShape (i.e. a DisplayObject).
I came across this post where Ely suggested creating some base classes that have this functionality (i.e. extend FlexSprite), so here they for anyone else who needs them.
Jason Sheedy has a post worth a read on localization in Flex 3.0.

Big thanks to Richard Leggett and Elmer Zinkhann for their presentations last month. Both their videos are now online.
No meeting this month, instead we shall celebrate this merry time of the year with a drink.
I’ve been waiting for this for ages!!
Dirk’s post is titled, ‘TODO/FIXME extension for Flex Builder 2′, but it also works a treat in FB 3.0 too.
Thanks!
