Explain about component life cycle?

   The component instantiation life cycle describes the sequence of steps that occur when you create a component object from a component class. As part of the life cycle, Flex automatically calls component methods, dispatches events, and makes the component visible.

            3 Main Phases:

            BIRTH

                        Construction, configuration, attachment, initialization

            LIFE

                        Invalidation, validation, interaction

            DEATH

                        Detachment, garbage collection

           

            override protected function createChildren():void{

                        myLab=new Label();

                        myLab.text="my label";

                        myLab.setStyle('color',"green");

                        this.addChild(myLab);

            }

override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,  unscaledHeight:Number):void {

                        myLab.move(0,0);

                        myLab.setActualSize(100,100);

            }
