To create your own meta data, in Flex you have to set compiler option: -keep-as3-metadata

Here is small example -

Index.mxml:

MetaDataExample.as:

package
{
	import flash.utils.*;
	public class MetaDataExample
	{
		public function MetaDataExample()
		{
		}

		public function get description():String
		{
			return describeType(this).toString();
		}

		[Orange(size="very big", isTasty="Yes Yes Yes Yes!")]
		public function get prop():String
		{ return "hello"; }
		public function set prop(value:String):void
		{ }
	}
}

and finaly meta-config.xml:

	
		
			Orange
		
		true
		
.

Now you simply compile your application with -load-config+="meta-config.xml". And you have your own meta data in Flex.

P.S. in order to check it you can use flash.utils.describeType() method, here is what i’ve got:
