I am a senior developer for EffectiveUI who specializes in Flex and Flash development. I am based out of Denver, CO and love the mountains, especially trail running and hiking. The pictures in my header were taken by me on hikes in the Colorado Rockies not far from Denver.

Hi John,
I’m just getting familiar with Flex and noticed that you posted a solution to an issue I am encountering myself. I am in the process of creating a Flex-based site but also find it easier to have certain Flash based components for better control and quicker creation. For example, a custom header navigation bar built with buttons in Flash.
Could you provide some more information or possible example files that show a button using your MCButton class. If I have it right, you create that class as an .AS file and link it to the button you create in Flash. Is the button in Flash a button symbol or a movieclip with 4 frames with each frame’s label being the “state”?
I am going to try a few things but if you would be willing to give me any pointers I’d really appreciate it.
Take care,
Matt
