[flexcoders] Flex cookbook article: Flex2 XML Reader Can Create UIComponents

2007-05-17 Thread Austin Kottke
Hi, There is an intriguing article in the flex cookbook on the adobe site about reading in MXML at runtime and using the XML object to create components at runtime. While I don't totally get how this works as there are no code samples, but very vague actually, but it states: "Let’s consider, fo

I think they're just stating that the mx.modules package exists. The sentence "We also know Flex2 knows how to read MXML at runtime because the compiler knows how to convert MXML into GUI Objects" doesn't inspire confidence that they know what they're talking about. Since it's possible that they

Yeah, ummm, my advice would be ignore that article. That's one of the effects of having an article submission process that allows anyone to submit anything. I know the cookbook is supposed to be user generated and reviewed, but anyone from Adobe want to exercise a little editorial control? I would

Yea, I get it. It sounds really cool though -- I'd love to be able to see dynamically created MXML and not have it to be server side (Apache IIS mod). This would make flex's value a lot higher. I suppose that there is some class in the flex framework which does this however, converts MXML to ob
