Thanks for the fast response!

Yes I’ve done all the thing you mention above.

I should say that it works fine when I create a new Object in the code and run addChild(Object);

But if I want to instanciate the symbol on the stage if fails… Quite annoying since you have to set the x and y etc. props by code.

I updated the tutorial with an importable flex project

Difficult to say from here. But it is going with the things Flex is using.
Are you exporting the swc (you have to rebuild this every time you change something in the Class code of the weather component.
Do they have a instance name?
Did you add the source path in Flex?

You can do everything over again or download my source code to see if that works and compare it to your code. Using Flash in Flex stays a very complex process and it can go wrong in many ways.

Hey!
Very nice tutorial, very useful for me, thanks!
I have a problem though… When I declare a symbol on stage (wheather it’s a MovieClip or linked to a custom class), and try to use it in the code, the compiler says it’s a null object. This is just when I build it in Flex, but it works fine when I compile it in flash. Any suggestions? (I unchecked the stage in step 19… )
