Hi Zach,

i think it should be:

import mx.controls.Button;

instead of:

import mx.controls.button;

Thanks anyway, helps me to build my button :)

Kind regards

Hi Zach,
I am trying to drag and drop buttons from a hbox to a canvas. However, after i drag and drop, it is vanishing from the hbox and appearing in canvas. I want it to also remain in hbox. My event handler is as follows:

public function dragButton(e:MouseEvent):void
{

if(e.buttonDown)
{
var button:Button = e.currentTarget as Button;
var buttonProxy:Button = new Button();
buttonProxy.width = button.width;
buttonProxy.height = button.height;
var dragSource:DragSource = new DragSource();
dragSource.addData(button, ‘button’);
DragManager.doDrag(button, dragSource, e);
//button.parent.addChild(button);
}
}

Actually i should be able to duplicate the button “button” and create a new button “buttonProxy” with same features as that of “button”. The actual button has a “icon” property. But when i create “buttonProxy” i cant seem to have such property. What do i do?
