Re: [flexcoders] Flex. AIR and IPhone
Thank you everybody for this discussion about SVG. When I introduced XML in my company, in 1999, (already 10 years ago !), I remember that I told as examples 40 or 50 XML-based standards. I explained that SVG was one of the oldest but I had many questions about its performance and about its compliance with existing browsers. I don't know what was the version of flash at this moment (2 or 3 ?) When I decided to launch the first development with Royale, in december 2003, I was convinced that it was the only technology for making RIA and I was feeling that Royale will become a great thing because RIA was a real need for simplifying user interfaces. (Royale was the former name of Flex). I recruted 2 RD people and they made the first Flex application in the world (which is the ancestor of Flexstore). These RD people were SVG specialist and in their report, they explained the power of Flex. Flash was still in version 6. Today, Flash is in version 10, after a huge rewriting, and Flex is near the version 4. I don't know if Mister Allaire was influenced by SVG, but he made a wonderfull job when he invented the ancestor of Royale. I remember his conference in JavaOne 2002, showing the next generation of GUI. Java is widely deployed today, just because there was a pilot in plane, Sun. Flash player is the most widely deployed software in the world. It was proprietary. It is now open. Thanks to Macromedia to have evolve it. They were working for sustainability. And thanks to Adobe to reinforce this sustanability. With Flash we have the second generation of application portability. And thanks to Adobe to invent AIR. I choose Pdf in 1994, because I needed a sustainable format for publishing documents on CD-ROM. Now Pdf is a ISO standard and, as is, becomes the only way to transmit digital information towards the next generations. Again thanks to Adobe to build sustainability. I am not working for Adobe or any other ISV. But I think that making sustainable software is the most important thing we have to do. It is much more than interoperability, which is the minimal need. Standards are a dream of software sustainability. Sometimes they don't succeed. Sometimes they are ubiquitous. But they are just a way. The important thing is the pillar they can provide for making sustainable things. Hervé And the real bad thing is that the iPhone is not running AIR and Flash.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex. AIR and IPhone
Apologies for how long this email became, but I was reading around on the trusty wikipedia and wanted to try to clear up some things about the success of the existing web standards. I don't want this to come off as too much of a rant, but it proably will. Let's take a look at the history of CSS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS): CSS level 1: November 4, 1997 CSS level 2: May 12, 1998 CSS level 3: began 1998, still unfinished A brief excerpt: The CSS Working Group began tackling issues that had not been addressed with CSS level 1, resulting in the creation of CSS level 2 on November 4, 1997. It was published as a W3C Recommendation on May 12, 1998. *CSS level 3, which was started in 1998, is still under development as of 2008*. *In 2005 the CSS Working Groups decided to enforce the requirements for standards more strictly. This meant that already published standards like CSS 2.1, CSS 3 Selectors and CSS 3 Text were pulled back from Candidate Recommendation to Working Draft level.* And if you really want to have fun look at the half-assed implementation of CSS across the many browsers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_(CSS). It's been 10 years since CSS 2 was written (10 years!) and yet there still isn't even consistent implementation of that. And CSS 3 implementation is a joke. Maybe HTML is better, let's look at that ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML#Version_history_of_the_standard): HTML 2: 1995 HTML 3.2 recommendation: January, 1997 HTML 4 recommendation: December, 1997 HTML 5 working draft: January 2008 (10 years!) Hmm, maybe we can look at ECMAScript, the standard controlling JavaScript development (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript) ECMAScript 1: June 1997 ECMAScript 2: June 1998 ECMAScript 3: December 1999 Added E4X to ECMAScript: June 2004 ECMAScript 4: scrapped ECMAScript Harmony: in development And now, finally, we'll look at the timeline of Flash/ActionScript: Flash Player 2: 1997 Flash Player 3: 1998 Flash Player 4: May, 1999 Flash Player 5: August 2000 ActionScript 1: September, 2000 Flash Player 6: March 2002 Flash Player 7: September 2003 ActionScript 2: September 2003 Flash Player 8: August 2005 Flah Player 9: June 2006 ActionScript 3: June 2006 Flash Player 10: October 2008 So for literally the past 10 years the standards bodies haven't been able to release a single completed specification. That goes for HTML, CSS, and ECMASCript (the closest would be the draft of the unimplemented HTML 5 that was released a year ago). The entire standards-based web is running on stuff that was written before the dot-com bubble burst! Now look at how Flash has progressed since 1999. That includes the complete evolution of ActionScript all the way from the very first version to the AS3 (including the recent Vector, etc enhancements that come with Player 10). The entire evolution of AS3 occurred after the last ECMAScript spec was written. CSS 3 started development in 1998 and still isn't finished. In that same time period we went from Flash Player 3 to 10. I'm not holding my breath for anything new coming out of these standards groups. 10 years and they can't write a specification. The entire world changes in 10 years.

IE is criticized because it is rubbish and *doesn't follow the standards*. If they try to get it into the standard, it will take ages to get it through the committee, and they will lose the competitive advantage of developing that feature in the first place. Unfortunately the standards process just does not keep up with innovation. But personally, I don't think it should - details should be thrashed out, and issues should be resolved in standards, particularly those that could not be foreseen during the initial implementation. Yes, that tends to happen and is fine...the point is though that there is a working towards a standard, which is not currently what's happening with Flash or Silverlight. Both are pretending SVG doesn't exist. Flash has some token support for it is the best anyone can say. I'm a believer of what Sebastian said - Competition is what drives technology forward, standards come after the war to clean up the mess, but they don't innovate. Again, i disagree, but then maybe I think more highly of humanity than you do... :-) What would be nice would be a SVG container for Flex/SL, and one that can reach out into the app and allow the app to reach in.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Modules
Hi Lorenzo -
What you want to do is use the ready event of the module loader to
add event listeners to your module. So in your main application, you
want something like this:
private function moduleReadyHandler(event:Event):void
{
if(moduleLoader.child is DesignBrowser)
{
moduleLoader.child.addEventListener(DesignBrowser.DESIGN_SELECTED,
designSelectedHandler);
}
}
private function designSelectedHandler(event:Event):void
{
trace('design selected' + event.target.name);
}
...
mx:ModuleLoader
ready=moduleReadyHandler(event)
id=moduleLoader/
In my application, I have a module called DesignBrowser. It
dispatches a DESIGN_SELECTED event when the user selects a design.
The module then loader listens for this event because I added an
EventListener to the child of the module loader during the ready
event.
Hope this helps!

[flexcoders] Looking to tweak a List control's drop indicator
Hello All, I'm looking to change the behavior/looks of the drop indicator when rearranging items in a List control. I understand that I can make a new dropIndicatorSkin (which I hope to do this in Flash). However, I'd also like to add some separation between the items in the list when I drag the item over a potential drop spot. What would happen is both the item above and below would shift apart a bit. Ideally, the individual items wouldn't change size, but if it made it easier, they could squash a bit. Any suggestions on how to do something like this? (I'm thinking there might be an API inside Flex to already deal with this.) Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex. AIR and IPhone
There's not much to add.But I'm afraid that's precisely what frightens standards' zealots: things change too fast, and it's reassuring to have standards slow things down a little bit sometimes. Hide your fear with a little standard/openness confusion, some big-papa-mama-sucky-corporation FUD, and you're good to go. Standards, openness, corporations, let's not confuse everything. Adobe and Flex are on the right path to provide us with the best of both innovation and openness worlds. And they've come so far in way less time that it has taken Sun to open up Java. Now the last thing I have to say is, if some of you are not happy with the way Adobe deals with openness, there is a webmeeting next week where you will be able to voice your constructive feedback directly to the Flex SDK team: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?13@@.59b7a2da Now if you really want to point at some anti-open big corporation, maybe Apple should be your target regarding the original question in this thread.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: ComboBox selectedIndex revisited
I don't know why you say there's a lot of stuff happening. It's just using binding (in the form of a binding function) to set an initial selection. Seems completely legitimate to me. The fact that it's a function rather than a direct reference is because of the well-known ComboBox limitations with non-primitive objects. Yes, the binding function does fire when expected, but I haven't debugged ComboBox itself. I have the workaround I showed, but if I find time I'll try to set up a test case.

[flexcoders] OlapDataGrid like headers using ADG
Is it possible to have 'split' or 'colspan'-ed headers without having to resort to serious column rework? Something like: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=olapdatagrid_2.html I've tried and tried to find any resources for this but all seem to point to Alex's Split Column example. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/SplitColumns/dg.swf . Since Alex wrote that post with Flex 2 in mind, I'd be curious to know if this has somehow been solved in Flex 3. While this works, it's nowhere near as slick as OlapDataGrid. |2009| |Q1-||-Q2| |Jan|Feb|Mar||Apr|May|Jun| -- | 0 | 1 | 1 || 2 | 4 | 8 | Sorting or selecting any of the aggregate time (Years or quarters) isn't important, the leaf (Months) have the real data. I am leaning towards creating fake headers that would line up with the single row headers as that seems to keep the ADG more true to itself for any native support it offers (multi column sort/resize/show hide). Is this a good idea? I am just starting this project and have a lot of features left to implement and it seems like the complexity of using the ADG is exponential as you try anything that isn't supported out of the box.
[flexcoders] Advanced DataGrid sorting
Hi there, I need to sort the advanced grid but I want the sort apply only certain nodes of data. For example Group 0 contains 10 items which it makes sense to sort while Group 1 contain items which should always remain in the same sequence. The sequence should not even change if the sort changes from ascending to descending. In other words, the sort should only affect certain groups of data. From the docs, it looks like the sortCompareFunction cannot accomplish this since it does not expose the characteristics of the current sort - it just determines the sequence of two elements. What is the easiest way to do this? Is it possible to do this while still utilizing the sort column header renderers that indicate the current sort settings? Thanks in advance!!! Denis
Re: [flexcoders] Go and Vote for beter Flex builder! (Cache Buster)
ant.apache.org is a good place to start. The replace task allows you to replace strings in a file. The buildNumber task gives you a updated buildNumber per build.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex. AIR and IPhone
Here, here! Doug has it exactly right. Innovation flies in the face of standards, and by its success, can become a kind of standard, even if it's not the standard. Lots of standards become that way after the fact. Even when the success is, well, questionable, it can become a standard after the fact. The NTSC/VC-1 with Microsoft comes to mind. The Blu-Ray/HD-DVD war had as much to do with H.264 vs. VC-1 video standards as it did the actual disc standards. It is easy enough to argue that Microsoft is the great boat anchor of web standards. Fine. I can see lots of business reasons for that. Whether it's open source or Adobe moving ahead anyway, that's another business decision. But innovation is going to happen, just as it always has, with or without a committee standard. That's great news. Will Flash get on the iPhone? Which is a proprietary, non-standard, but-now-a-standard-unto-itself platform? Maybe, maybe not, for techincal and/or business reasons. Is the Flash platform being proprietary bad? No. Is having to learn to program the iPhone SDK bad? No. My point? Don't hold your breath, or waste any breath over committee standards. It's really okay to just enjoy the innovation that is taking place, proprietary or not. It's also okay to develop on more than one platform. - Cole From: Doug McCune d...@dougmccune.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 9:23:11 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex. AIR and IPhone Apologies for how long this email became, but I was reading around on the trusty wikipedia and wanted to try to clear up some things about the success of the existing web standards. I don't want this to come off as too much of a rant, but it proably will. Let's take a look at the history of CSS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS): CSS level 1: November 4, 1997 CSS level 2: May 12, 1998 CSS level 3: began 1998, still unfinished A brief excerpt: The CSS Working Group began tackling issues that had not been addressed with CSS level 1, resulting in the creation of CSS level 2 on November 4, 1997. It was published as a W3C Recommendation on May 12, 1998. CSS level 3, which was started in 1998, is still under development as of 2008. In 2005 the CSS Working Groups decided to enforce the requirements for standards more strictly. This meant that already published standards like CSS 2.1, CSS 3 Selectors and CSS 3 Text were pulled back from Candidate Recommendation to Working Draft level. And if you really want to have fun look at the half-assed implementation of CSS across the many browsers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_(CSS). It's been 10 years since CSS 2 was written (10 years!) and yet there still isn't even consistent implementation of that. And CSS 3 implementation is a joke. Maybe HTML is better, let's look at that (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML#Version_history_of_the_standard): HTML 2: 1995 HTML 3.2 recommendation: January, 1997 HTML 4 recommendation: December, 1997 HTML 5 working draft: January 2008 (10 years!) Hmm, maybe we can look at ECMAScript, the standard controlling JavaScript development (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript) ECMAScript 1: June 1997 ECMAScript 2: June 1998 ECMAScript 3: December 1999 Added E4X to ECMAScript: June 2004 ECMAScript 4: scrapped ECMAScript Harmony: in development And now, finally, we'll look at the timeline of Flash/ActionScript: Flash Player 2: 1997 Flash Player 3: 1998 Flash Player 4: May, 1999 Flash Player 5: August 2000 ActionScript 1: September, 2000 Flash Player 6: March 2002 Flash Player 7: September 2003 ActionScript 2: September 2003 Flash Player 8: August 2005 Flah Player 9: June 2006 ActionScript 3: June 2006 Flash Player 10: October 2008 So for literally the past 10 years the standards bodies haven't been able to release a single completed specification. That goes for HTML, CSS, and ECMASCript (the closest would be the draft of the unimplemented HTML 5 that was released a year ago). The entire standards-based web is running on stuff that was written before the dot-com bubble burst! Now look at how Flash has progressed since 1999. That includes the complete evolution of ActionScript all the way from the very first version to the AS3 (including the recent Vector, etc enhancements that come with Player 10). The entire evolution of AS3 occurred after the last ECMAScript spec was written. CSS 3 started development in 1998 and still isn't finished. In that same time period we went from Flash Player 3 to 10. I'm not holding my breath for anything new coming out of these standards groups. 10 years and they can't write a specification. The entire world changes in 10 years. Doug

[flexcoders] Flex and asSQL - Crossdomain issue?
Hi everyone, Yesterday I developed my first flex 3 app and placed the Release build in the webapps folder of tomcat (5.5.26). The application is quite simple and just needs to populate the datagrid with the data in MySQL (which is on the same machine on port 3306). I have used asSQL to communicate. When run from flex builder, I get the app to work perfectly. But on accessing the URL http://gauravt-xp:8080/MyAppsName/MyHTML.html;, I get a blank datagrid. My suspicion is that this is related to crossdomain.xml file. Am I right with this? If yes where should I place it? I searched on the forum and could not find a definitive answer. The crossdomain file that I have created looks like: ?xml version=1.0? !DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd; cross-domain-policy allow-access-from domain=gauravt-xp to-ports=8080,3306 / /cross-domain-policy I tried placing it in the webapps and webapps/ROOT folder of tomcat but data was not populated.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex and asSQL - Crossdomain issue?
I would suspect the same, add a crossdomain in the root of your site (or you can use a policy element to put it somewhere else but more fiddly) In your cross domain add the 'all ports', if you are just 'testing' you can leave it wide open : cross-domain-policy allow-access-from domain=* to-ports=*/ /cross-domain-policy It should be accessible via http://gauravt-xp/crossdomain.xml you could try http://gauravt-xp:8080/crossdomain.xml but I'm not sure it will work. I'm pretty sure flash requests the crossdomain file on port 80 (maybe override-able by a policy file), but my sites all run on port 80 so not messed with it in a while. A good way to see whats going on is using the Charles httpd debugging proxy to monitor the traffic and see if it request a cross domain xml file, if it does and your applications fails right after that then you can be sure it's a silent failure due to the policy file.

[flexcoders] Best way to toggle elements in ArrayCollections
So in my Flex 3 project I have an ArrayCollection, like this:
[Bindable]
private var myDataProvider:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(
[
{country:Apple, quantity:5},
{country:Pear, quantity:3},
{country:Banana, quantity:7},
]);
This is the dataprovider for another visual component (this is not the
actual data, I've simplified it for the sake of clarity in asking this
question). I have some checkboxes that I want to use to toggle elements
in and out of the arrayCollection, thus changing what's shown in the
visual component which is bound by databinding. I thought about just
having a visual property in the dataprovider, but then found out I
cannot access display list items in this third party chart component I
am using, so the only way to change what is shown in the chart component
is to change what's contained in the array collection.
My question is, while I can think of ways to do this (adding and
removing elements in the ArrayCollection), but they all involve some
pretty ugly Actionscript. Is there a good way to handle this, but keep
my data intact? How would you use checkboxes to toggle data in and out
of the ArrayCollection elegantly?
Thanks,
Jason Merrill

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Modules
Hi again Lorenzo -
Sure, you can do that. I'm still learning to work with modules, so I'm
not sure what would be the BEST way to do it, but one thing you could
try is to have a custom panel component at the application level.
Inside of the panel component, you could have a ModuleLoader component.
When you create a new panel at the application level, you could
specify which .swf the ModuleLoader inside the panel should load.
so at the application level you would have something like:
var p1:SpecialPanel = new SpecialPanel();
p1.moduleLoader.loadModule( com/whatever/whatever/components/moduleA);
var p2:SpecialPanel = new SpecialPanel();
p2.moduleLoader.loadModule ( com/whatever/whatever/components/
moduleB);
Application.addChild(p1);
Application.addChild(p2);
This should work. I'm not sure if there would be overhead having
multiple module loaders in memory, so again this might not be the best
way.

Hi Lorenzo -
What you want to do is use the ready event of the module loader to
add event listeners to your module. So in your main application, you
want something like this:
private function moduleReadyHandler(event:Event):void
{
if(moduleLoader.child is DesignBrowser)
{
moduleLoader.child.addEventListener(DesignBrowser.DESIGN_SELECTED,
designSelectedHandler);
}
}
private function designSelectedHandler(event:Event):void
{
trace('design selected' + event.target.name);
}
...
mx:ModuleLoader
ready=moduleReadyHandler(event)
id=moduleLoader/
In my application, I have a module called DesignBrowser. It
dispatches a DESIGN_SELECTED event when the user selects a design.
The module then loader listens for this event because I added an
EventListener to the child of the module loader during the ready
event.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Is it possible to give multiple mxml files under the

Without this my build.xml is becoming very big due to
repetition of many mxmlc sections, the only difference being
the value of the file property.

[flexcoders] external swf inside an AIR HTML component right click issues.
I have the strangest AIR issue that I've never seen. Right clicking on a TextInput sets focus to the TextInput directly above the component. (There are two 'stages' involved, and it is a javascript + HTML component issue). I'm using SDK 3.0.2.214193 (I'm sure there's an update, but all of our developers have to be on the same build version). To reproduce: 1) Start a new AIR project. Add one HTML component. height=100%, width=100%, location will be set to the HTML file created below. 2) Start a new Flex project. layout=vertical (I know...). Add about five or six TextInputs. 3) (If you've built the flex project, you may have to clean it to make this change... throw a java alert() in there somewhere if you're not sure): In the 'if(hasRequestedVersion)' javascript block of the index.template.html file, add 'wmode, transparent,' to the arguments of the AC_FL_RunContent function. (This is a requirement for my html files). 4) set the location of the HTML component to the html file of the Flex project in your bin-debug output location. Right click on the bottom TextInput. I'm on a windows box and right clicking on a textInput setsFocus to the component directly above the one you've right clicked. To get rid of the problem, either comment out the history.js script in the, or remove the wmode=transparent jive. (remember to clean the flex project if you make changes to index.template.html). I don't know enough Javascript to fight through the history.js file. Creating a lightweight history.js (that only enables BrowserManager) might be a fix as I can't say we'll be worrying about the history/back/fwd/etc. Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid Drop Deny based on dropIndex
Hi,
We handle something very similar to this, and although we don't deny a
drop based on the index, we use the index to persist the drop location
in the database...the same logic applies. We are using this on an ADG
and hence my example below:
You could grab the internal targetGrids dropData get the
dropData.index...check it and if its not the value you want, perform an
event.preventDefault and stopPropagation...
private function adg_DragEvent(event:DragEvent):void
{
var targetGrid:AdvancedDataGrid = event.currentTarget as
AdvancedDataGrid;
use namespace mx_internal;
var dropData:Object = targetGrid.mx_internal::_dropData;
adgIndex = dropData.index;
if (adgIndex 4)
{
targetGrid.hideDropFeedback(event);
targetGrid.selectedItems = new Array();
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
}

Jason,
I'm doing something similar with checkboxes and the DataGrid.
Are you able to turn the visibility of your component on/off ?
Rather than modify the dataset, you may be able to use a checkbox event
to trigger the visibility change of your display component.

So in my Flex 3 project I have an ArrayCollection, like this:
[Bindable]
private var myDataProvider:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(
[
{country:Apple, quantity:5},
{country:Pear, quantity:3},
{country:Banana, quantity:7},
]);
This is the dataprovider for another visual component (this is not the
actual data, I've simplified it for the sake of clarity in asking this
question). I have some checkboxes that I want to use to toggle
elements
in and out of the arrayCollection, thus changing what's shown in the
visual component which is bound by databinding. I thought about just
having a visual property in the dataprovider, but then found out I
cannot access display list items in this third party chart component I
am using, so the only way to change what is shown in the chart
component
is to change what's contained in the array collection.
My question is, while I can think of ways to do this (adding and
removing elements in the ArrayCollection), but they all involve some
pretty ugly Actionscript. Is there a good way to handle this, but
keep
my data intact? How would you use checkboxes to toggle data in and
out
of the ArrayCollection elegantly?
Thanks,
Jason Merrill

[flexcoders] Single src creating multi SWF modules in Flex using Maven
Hello, I currently have a project that has multiple modules under one source, This project compiles fine under Flex Builder. The application SWF and module SWF are behaving correctly. However, I am struggling with Maven, since Maven I am not able to create a module SWF file using net.israfil.mojo/maven-flex2-plugin. I have read that their has been success in the creation of multiple swf modules from a single source from ant; but could not find any examples. I have attempted a few times using maven-antrun-plugin for Ant tasks but was not successful. Has anyone ever attempted this task before in either Maven or Ant? Thank you, yoshilo

Hi,
We handle something very similar to this, and although we don't deny a
drop based on the index, we use the index to persist the drop location
in the database...the same logic applies. We are using this on an ADG
and hence my example below:
You could grab the internal targetGrids dropData get the
dropData.index...check it and if its not the value you want, perform an
event.preventDefault and stopPropagation...
private function adg_DragEvent(event:DragEvent):void
{
var targetGrid:AdvancedDataGrid = event.currentTarget as
AdvancedDataGrid;
use namespace mx_internal;
var dropData:Object = targetGrid.mx_internal::_dropData;
adgIndex = dropData.index;
if (adgIndex 4)
{
targetGrid.hideDropFeedback(event);
targetGrid.selectedItems = new Array();
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
}
HTH!

The problem I'm facing is that even though my dragEnter event
handler
doesn't call the DragManager.acceptDragDrop(UIComponent), it
still
allows me to drop it.
RE: [flexcoders] How to assign html tag to text property
Not sure what you are trying to do. If you want the html rendered in the text area, set the htmlText property: mx:TextArea x=170 y=147 height=229 width=248 id=ta mx:htmlText ![CDATA[html body Hello /body /html]] /mx:htmlText /mx:TextArea If you want to actually display the markup as a string, set the text property: mx:TextArea x=170 y=147 height=229 width=248 id=ta mx:text ![CDATA[html body Hello /body /html]] /mx:text /mx:TextArea HTH, Ryan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of markflex2007 Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 2:23 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] How to assign html tag to text property Hi, I try the following code but I get error,please give me a idea to fix it.

Hi,
Is it possible to give multiple mxml files under the
file property of mxmlc task ?
Without this my build.xml is becoming very big due to
repetition of many mxmlc sections, the only difference being
the value of the file property.
Thanks,
Aejaz
