MXML files get turned into AS prior compilation and you can do pretty
anything either in MXML or AS. A typical usecase is to setup a
Controller inside your main Application file. This can be done either in
a Script block or by tag syntax as Tracy suggested. Below are two
examples - email code, but you should get the idea :)
1) Script style
<mx:Application creationComplete="initApp()">
<mx:Script>
import foo.bar.Controller;
private var controller:Controller;
private function initApp():void
{
controller = new Controller();
controller.init(this);
}
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
2) Tag style
<mx:Application creationComplete="controller.init(this)">
<Controller id="controller" xmlns="foo.bar.*" />
</mx:Application>
// Controller.as
package foo.bar
{
import mx.core.Application;
public class Controller
{
public function init(application:Application)
{
// whatever...
}
}
}
Concerning ANT and the command line compilers: mxmlc is used to compile
applications (SWF files), compc is used to compile component libraries
(SWC files) so you should look out for ANT scripts that use mxmlc and
not compc :)
