I'd like to use some of the mx.controls.* UI components in a more complex UI (as part of a PureMVC AS3 app) that's already partially built. I've already noticed that just importing and trying to instantiate component (for instance, mx.controls.HSlider) just throws an error, presumably because none of the UI setup is handled. I've also read that it's difficult or impossible to instantiate mx.controls.* UI elements from within AS3, but other sources mention wrapping AS3 in a minimal MXML wrapper to get access to the mx.* components -- what's the story here? (I also own Flash CS3 so I could use the flash.* components, but I understand they're similarly restricted and would also make the app dependent on having CS3 to compile, which I'd like to avoid).
