I know that, that's why I'm proposing other mechanisms. I just created a HtmlContainer.swc with the simple extern JS based function I shown before to load multiple scripts, adding this lib in my project, I can now use it to import the jQuery JS library or any other from inside the AS code, rebuild, and it will work from the generated index.html, like that: private static const JQUERY_SCRIPT:String = 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js'; public function start():void { HtmlContainer.load([JQUERY_SCRIPT], init); } private function init():void { const button:Element = document.createElement("button"); button.onclick = function ():void { alert("Hello browser from FalconJX!"); }; button.textContent = "Say Hello"; document.body.appendChild(button); var div:HTMLDivElement = document.createElement("DIV") as HTMLDivElement; $(document.body).append(div).ready(function():void { $(div).html("This is Hello World by JQuery"); $(div).css("border", "2px solid green"); $(div).insertBefore(button); }); } Frédéric THOMAS ---------------------------------------- > From: aha...@adobe.com > To: dev@flex.apache.org > Subject: Re: [FalconJX FlexJS] JQuery up and running, a nightmare but we now > have 1.9 in AS > Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 17:06:32 +0000 > > > > On 6/23/15, 8:53 AM, "Frédéric THOMAS" <webdoubl...@hotmail.com> wrote: >> >>Playing with the externs, we've seen that in order to customize our >>index.html (adding a Script tag for JQuery for example) we had to create >>another index.html outside the build folder referencing our main .js >>because the original one was overridden each time we built, so, instead >>of doing that, I was looking for a way to write our Script tag from AS >>which is not possible at the moment and we haven't got a template index >>to use neither. >> >>ok, IIUC, the goal of having externs is to ease the implementation of >>as/js components giving the possibility to implement them in AS and use >>the generated JS as JS source of the new FlexJS component, so, we can, in >>the generated JS, add a comment to load a JS Script or CS. >> >>But still, if I look at the jQuerySample.mxml, I can see something that >>should be done at each build, not every user friendly: >> >> >>So, my goal was to simplify link and script tags either making them >>accessible from the AS via a MataTag for example or having an utility >>class to download dynamically those resources and add them to the head of >>the html application container. >> >>Am I clearer ?
