    Default Dynamic creation of Scale object

    I am currently dynamically creating a Scale object with Qt.createQmlObject.

    Is it possible to do with createObject?
    If so, what URL would I give to get the component?

    Component.createObject() doesn't take an URL, did you mean Qt.createComponent()?
    If so, the URL is the location of the QML file that defines the component.

    Yes, sorry, I meant Qt.createComponent.

    The problem is that "Scale" is a built-in element. I don't see a QML file.
    How does one dynamically instantiate a built-in element?

    Instead of creating the Component from a file, you create it directly in code.

    And here was my complete lack of understanding.

    Qt Code:
    1. var scaleTransform = Scale
    2. scaleTransform.xScale = 2
    3. scaleTransform.yScale = 2
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    So much simpler than I thought. I'm getting this, slowly.
    Thanks!

    So, that didn't work.

    How does one create a native QML object (I don't have a QML file for it) dynamically without using createQmlObject?
