mx.core.Skin*
The mx.core.Skin* classes have been renamed to use the term Asset in the class name. For
example, the SkinSprite class is now named SpriteAsset, and the SkinMovieClip class is now
named MovieClipAsset.
These classes now implement the IFlexAsset interface.
mx.core.UIComponent
The UIComponent class has been combined with UIObject to form a single base class for
visual Flex components. As a result, many of the changes listed in this section apply to
properties, methods, and other members that were originally of the UIObject class.
The following table describes changes to the mx.core.UIComponent class:

automationDelegate
