It also means going through the MetaData.as and making sure that all the relevant properties, methods, styles and events reflect the underlying components – and in fact this needs doing anyway – as there are some errant / not relevant ones in there right now – I created MetaData.as by manually typing them all in from the help, so that’s not trivial…</span><o:p></o:p></div></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 72pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "> <o:p></o:p></div></div><div style="margin-left: 36pt; "><div style="margin-left: 36pt; "><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Basically I just need some time to try it with the spark classes and see what happens.

Would it be possible where you have properties with a predictable set of available values e.g. easing function, to provide a list of those values rather than a blank text field? Whilst some users might want to write their own easing function (I am guessing here) most will just want to use one that is already defined. But it would be much quicker and more intuitive to select this from a list of valid options than it currently is to have to research what options are available and then type one in.<br>3.
