My personal opinion is that the MX Spacer does not need to be re-written as a Spark Component. It won't game any benefit from being implemented using the Spark Architecture as it has no visual display.
Is there a reason the MX Spacer won't work for you? Would extending Rect be more efficient?

Just curious if we could add a simple component that used to exist in MX but not in Spark. The spacer component was just a simple UI extension. We can do the exact same thing now with the s:Rect (primitive), but it doesn't have an intuitive name. I think it would be nice to add the spacer back in. <s:Rect width="100%" /> --Same as-- <s:Spacer width="100%" /> Class: //Declare package. package spark.components { //Create child class of the Rect class. public class Spacer extends Rect { //---------------------------------------- // Constructor //---------------------------------------- public function Spacer() { super(); } } } -Mark
