Re: [flexcoders] Flex release version: XML attribute string too long

[Paul BH]

gotcha - just wondered if the process of loading it in at compile time may have been the achilles heel...On 7/6/06, Jonathan Bezuidenhout <

            Loading a XML file via <mx:XML... source=""> is pretty much the same as having it inline - it is converted into an AS structure at compile time and that is where things go wrong.It is easy to show that it fails.
<mx:XML id="test">    <root>        <test1 desc="this little piggy does work &amp;" />        <test2 desc="this little piggy does NOT work &lt;li&gt; for a list item at runtime" />
        <test3 desc="this little piggy does NOT even compile &#13;" />    </root></mx:XML>It works fine with loading the XML via HTTPService using the exact same XML - so I think it is a bug with the XML being converted at compile time.  I think I remember there was a similar bug at the begining of time - like version 
1.0 or something very very long ago.J.

            hmm interesting - I wonder if this happens because its xml source sucked in (ie it escaped characters get parsed when it gets sucked it)what happens if you have that sort of stuff inline as opposed to pulled in from a file?
just curious...PBHOn 7/6/06, Jonathan Bezuidenhout <

            Hi,No nasty characters - just escaped ones.It turns out that it is not that the string is too long - it is because it contains some escape sequences - it just happens to be that these strings are extra long.
Something like &lt;li&gt; makes it break - &amp; works though.
Also, something like &#60; fails.  If you have something like &#13; in your XML the app cannot even compile.  All of these are perfectly good XML!The above is using the <mx:XML source.../> construct where the XML is sucked in at compile time and the AS structure is created.
