Are there any way to declare a child component in mxml which is private/protected or even static?
Sure we can do this inside a script tag, but are there any other way?

A:
Ashier suggests using the "Exclude" metadata tag, but Maskit offers its limitations and suggests alternative solutions:

The workaround suggested in the 2nd link is quite good (+1 for that). But still none of those do static child component :(

Accepted this answer since it is the only thing can be done so far. Hope Flex 5 will support mxml static/private :(

A:
In the strict meaning of these terms, no you can't do that using mxml. The second link posted by Luis contains some workarounds for private/protected behavior.
