I suppose it is technically possible, but IMO, the compiler should not be
generating code. Right now, it mostly generates data, leaving it up to
the framework to run code based on the data. Also, the compiler currently
does not think about the CSS it converts to data.
However, you reminded me of
Why can’t the compiler use the CSS declarations to add beads to a beads array
in MXML?
I think it’s an acceptable compromise that injectable beads in CSS would only
work for MXML files.

All of the implementations I can think of add just-in-case code to check
for a CSS property and/or check for an array. I suppose you could write
some code that watches for changes to the DOM and adds a bead as things
get added to the DOM.
In your specific example, you want to customize layout and
Yeah. But we really should have a way to declare beads that are injected.
Since we are already using CSS files to declare beads of specific types, maybe
we can abuse CSS a bit more and allow declaring an array of beads there?
Either way, I think the code which delays layout of hidden elements bl
I hear you, but IMO, that's PAYG. Otherwise we would keep adding little
bits of "just-in-case" code and end up with the same problems as regular
Flex.
UIBase knows to look for a model, view and controller.
Container also looks for Layout.
We don't want just-in-case code looking for other things.
I actually just tried that, and it all blew up. I'll probably figure out why
soon...
It feels broken that I have to create my own Container just to get layout to
happen when it becomes visible.

IMO, you should create a different Container (probably a cheap subclass of
Container) and apply the bead in the constructor or fetch it from CSS in
addedtoParent().

I would like to apply a bead (LayoutOnShow) to every Container in my app. I
know I can subclass Container and add the bead using AS (or mxml), but I’d like
to keep my mxml markup and just inject the bead. I think I want to use CSS to
do that, but I cannot figure out how to specify a bead which i
