Another Flex bug: mx:Panel-derived MXML component problems

Posted on November 20, 2006 | Filed Under Adobe Flex 

Before I get into this one, please read my recent follow-up on the last Adobe-verified Flex bug I found. The Adobe Flex team was outstanding in their handling of that one. Let’s see how they do on this one.

The problem I’ve found this time involves creating a new MXML component that is derived from the mx:Panel container. You can’t assign visual effects to controls in the new container. Well, technically you can, but they won’t work.

Check out the example and the workaround here. Don’t forget to right click and select “View Source” if you want to see what’s going on.
