well i think the rectangular border is used for tab focus, when you tab to the component. im not sure about any initializing of it.

Do you have to initialize border_mc somehow in order for it to show up? My component extends mx.core.View and I sort of expected it would just render with a border around it.

Thanks,
Matt.

Yeah buddy. Sometimes there is stuff you need inited before createChildren is run, or pre-set to a specific value… or a getter/setter needs to run… whatever. Just ensure you call super.init, and you good to go like the funky coma-deena!
