using spark.components.Label through pure ActionScript
I wrote some code using spark.components.Label, something very simple, and
I don't see anything when I run this.
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
import layout.Layout;
import spark.components.Label;
public class App1 extends Sprite {
public function App1() {
var t:Label = new Label();
t.text = "Foo Foo";
addChild(t);
t.x = 100;
t.y = 100;
trace(t.width);
}
}
What am I doing wrong?

App1 extends sprite; which means you probably aren't in a Flex project
and there are no Flex specific classes to force the Spark Label through
its lifecycle process.
In theory you could write your own "SystemManager" class to put Flex
components through their livecycle and handle invalidation / validation
/ etc...
But, I wouldn't expect it to be easy.

I'm not using an IDE. Yes that's pretty much all the code. I'm just
experimenting right now. I have gotten mxml files to work, so for now I'll
use that route if I want to use Flex components. I'm not sure if my project
really needs Flex. It might be pure ActionScript.

...but that may not be enough. what IDE are you using? is this the
entire code of your app?

Flex components cant be placed inside Sprites. Try extending
spark.components.Application instead of Sprite

Flex is a framework and most frameworks have bootstrap/startup
requirements. For Flex, it pretty much requires that you use an MXML file
with an Application tag at the top.
It is technically possible to build out from pure AS, but very difficult.
It is a goal of FlexJS to not require an MXML file, but it will probably
still require a subclass of an Application class.
