Question

Does there exist a Flex view component that you could just pass it a custom object with all public fields/properties that it could reflect over and produce a basic UI view using flex components.

Is it possible to use something like the Spark DataGrid with one item laid out vertically.

It would only have to support:

• TextField view of primitives (String, Number, Boolean)
• Sub view for Objects (recursively reflect sub objects)
• List component to view Arrays/Dictionaries

For example if you had an object like this:

public class CustomerData {

    public var customerName:String;
    public var addresses:Vector.<Address>;  

}

public class Address {
   public var street:String;
   public var houseNumber:Number;
   public var zipcode : String;
}
