CanvasButton in AddChild problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If CanvasButton is used inside of AddChild (flex states), the content 
inside of CanvasButton is not dispayed. In this cases, Flex compiler does 
not create the descriptors, but uses UIComponent.addChild function to add 
such elements to the parents.

As the possible solution of a problem, the few functions from CanvasButton 
has been overwritten to catch adding of any childs (see the diff in 
attachment)...

What is the ETA for this enhancement to be included? I want to be able to
programmatically add children to a CanvasButton. Also, if the canvas property 
was
made protected, it would make CanvasButton highly customizable.

Thanks

Minor improvement over alex.demidovich's work.
addChild returns addChildAt(child, numChildren). This is what Container does
internally and will help extending addChildAt if required.

It took me half the day to figure out that this was the cause of my woes.  And
boy-howdy am I glad you fellers had a solution.  Probably saved me a ton of 
time. 
Nice work! :-)

You can add a getter that will return the canvas reference in the 
flexlib.controls.CanvasButton class. Like this:

/**
 * Children container, used to add children programmatically
 * @return  Canvas      children holder
 */
public function get container():Canvas
{
   return canvas;
}
