Hi Okay [2] is exactly what we had, but I've just realised we didn't have this in a <fx:Declarations> section, which is presumably why the compiler had ignored it! So add this, and suddenly I get the XML object being initialised with the XML file being embedded into the main .js file.
Interesting difference between options 1 and 2 is that the foreign-language characters in the XML are only rendered properly with the second option i.e. embedding an fx:XML object within the fx:Declarations. I'm guessing this to do with the "text/plain" MIME type, but am not sure what it should be for utf-8...? Anyway, thanks, I'm happy with this working as intended, with just the embarrassment of having not spotted the lack of the <fx:Declarations> section! cheers Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Yishay Weiss <[email protected]> Sent: 09 July 2019 15:17 To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Support for XML embedded via 'source' attribute Maybe this [2] is closer to what you want. I've tested [1] but not [2]. According to [2] your syntax was ok, so maybe post a test case demonstrating your problem.

If this isn't implemented yet, then what would people think is the best way to do it: should we try to dynamically fetch the XML file at runtime? or should we build the XML into the JavaScript initialisation somehow? thanks Andrew
