5.2. The Flex Scene Graph

Multigraph uses a heirarchy of Flex objects to construct its graph. If you are working with the Multigraph source code it can be helpful to understand this heirarchy. (This information is only needed if you are working with the Multigraph source code.)

Each graph in Multigraph consists of an instance of the Graph class, which extends the Flex class mx.core.UIComponent and is implemented in the source file Graph.as. Each Graph object defines the nested heirarchy of UIComponent objects depicted in Figure 5.1, “The Scene Graph”. This documentation will eventually contain more detail about this SceneGraph.
