Flash to Flex Conversion Issues

Question

I have this project that worked perfectly in Flash, and my client needs it transfered into Flex. The Flash project was a single .fla file and a .as document class.
I recreated all of the buttons, text areas, etc. in a single .mxml file. I replaced a movieclip progress loader with a progressBar, and changed the code accordingly.
I changed "public class RecognitionApp extends MovieClip" to "public class RecognitionApp extends spark.components.Application"
I included the Class in the .mxml file using:
<fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import com.RecognitionApp;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
Finally, I added "applicationComplete='RecognitionApp()'" to to the <s:Application> tag.
However, I get 161 errors, all of them "1120: Access of undefined property _______". I have put the correct IDs on all of the buttons. They exist in the .mxml file. Why am I getting this problem?

Answer 1

It seems kind of strange that you have:
RecognitionApp extends spark.components.Application
because I think you can only have one Flex application object. You can load another Flex app using SWFLoader though.
Can you give an outline of your app, something like this:
MainApp
    - MyComp1 (custom component extending VBox created with MXML custom tag)
    - MyComp2 (custom component extending HBox created in ActionScript)
etc.
