Hi,
Alex this one is aimed at you. I have been studying what you have done
for the whole day today and managed by copying about 1000 various
lines of code to my prototype MXML emitter got your Fragment lists to
be populated by my traversal.
Now the question is, can you in about 5-6 paragraphs give me a nice
detailed approach of yours with what is "needed".
For example, I see;
- The main application mxml file, this looks as though it's getting
translated pretty "vanilla".
- you are renaming with the "dummy" post fix, why?
- in the constructor you are just using the InstanceNode values (I
know this is all being done behind the scenes, I get how the
directives work now and are processed recursively)
- The MyInitialView is sketchy, is uiDescriptors being created by you
or is that property created by the MXMLClassDirective?
- Same with he event handlers, I see that is being take care of by the
process method.
I really think if you can give me as much information of what "you are
doing and need", I could have FalconJx producing the MXML sooner than
later. As I said I already have it spinning, just need to know exactly
what you need at the moment.
Also, this is where the framework will work out nice since when I need
to emit ActionScript for the MXML, I will pass it the current emitter
and send it through the ASBlockWalker.
I will also be honest and say, MXML is an ugly duckling compared to
surfing the AS AST, so when I say I can get your code working sooner
than later, I really mean I can get exactly what you have, to prove we
have all the right tools to put effort into the FalconJx version
because it will produce everything we need.
Mike
