Question

I need to completely initialize a custom component in my Flex app (i.e. I should be able to access it from action script and get its properties and its children etc), But I do not want to add it to the display or make it visible.

I have tried to add it to my visible component, but keep it visible, but often many of its properties are set only when it is drawn, so i don’t get what i need.

Is there a way to add a custom component to some sort of ‘Virtual’ display, that is not visible to the user?

Answer 1

You could add the component to an invisible Sprite – that way the component itself could both be on the stage and have its own visible property set to true.
