Container components created in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional for use in Flex are subclasses of the mx.flash.ContainerMovieClip class. You can use a subclass of ContainerMovieClip as a Flex container, it can hold children, and it can respond to events, define view states and transitions, and work with effects in the same way as can any Flex component.

A Flash container can only have a single Flex child. However, this child can be a Flex container which allows you to add additional children.

If your Flash container modifies the visual characteristics of the Flex components contained in it, such as changing the alpha property, you must embed the fonts used by the Flex components. This is the same requirement that you have when using the Dissolve, Fade, and Rotate effects with Flex components.

The following procedure describes the basic process for creating a Flex component in Flash CS3:

Install the Adobe Flash Workflow Integration Kit.
Create symbols for your dynamic assets in the FLA file.
Run Commands > Make Flex Container to convert your symbol to a subclass of the ContainerMovieClip class, to configure the Flash CS3 publishing settings for use with Flex, and add a new symbol named FlexContentHolder to the Library. This symbol defines the content area of the container in which you can place child Flex components..
Publish your FLA file as a SWC file.
Reference the class name of your symbols in your Flex application as you would any class.
Include the SWC file in your library-path when you compile your Flex application.

For more information, see the documentation that ships with the Flex/Flash Integration Kit at http://www.adobe.com/go/flex3_cs3_swfkit.

Property Detail

content

property

content:IUIComponent [read-write]

The Flex content to display inside this container.

Typically, to add a child to a container in ActionScript, you use the Container.addChild() or Container.addChildAt() method. However, to add a child to the ContainerMovieClip.content property of a Flash container, you do not use the addChild() or addChildAt() method. Instead, you assign the child directly to the content property.

Implementation
public function get content():IUIComponent
public function set content(value:IUIComponent):void

Example

The following example assigns a container to the ContainerMovieClip.content property.
