You need think about it. Despite the emails, the overwhelming evidence showing global warming is happening hasn’t changed.
“The e-mails do nothing to undermine the very strong scientific consensus . . . that tells us the Earth is warming, that warming is largely a result of human activity,” Jane Lubchenco, who heads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told a House committee. She said that the e-mails don’t cover data from NOAA and NASA, whose independent climate records show dramatic warming.

Hi… this is the 4 post asking me about the source code… and is time to release….by the way…

Is a Proof of concept… not a final release… is made only to see if it can be done… and can… but by some limitations…

The code is hosted at http://code.google.com/p/livemxml/

Thanks 4 your comments… and sorry 4 the lack of updates

Hi, in the next days I will put the source code of the mxml parser and a actionscript compiler I have make.

For now I get working the “compiler” know the component references as you can assign events to it, and a simple dataProvider initializacion.

A demo:

I will post source and examples soon at my blog:

Comments are welcome!!

In the next to last paragraph, the posting removed a reference to the Script/CDATA mechanism for including Actionscript source.

Nice piece of work. The example is easy to follow and I got it working in a matter of minutes.

I tried to do this:
var mxmlLoader:MXMLLoader = new MXMLLoader(mxml,this);
this.removeChild(mxmlLoader);

naively assuming the mxmlLoader (extended from UIComponent) had been added as a child to “this.” A look at the source makes it clear that it’s the components within the xml that are added as children and that the structure is maintained (i.e., you can remove everything by removing an uber-container that held all the components).

Architecturally, an alternative to the approach of providing both the conversion and adding the child in one step would be to return the objects of type UIComponent which could be added when and where appropriate.

As the author notes, not all components and attributes are handled.

I am working on something where I need to receive dynamically a relatively small, simple piece of Flex code without any fore knowledge and execute it within the context of my app. MXMLLoader works fine for the visual pieces and while Flex is able to bind “click” attributes to functions outside the MXMLLoader source, I need something equivalent to , which appears to be way outside of the approach that MXMLLoader takes using the manifest and getDefinitionByName(), etc.

Thoughts anyone? And thanks again to the author for a nicely done and nicely presented piece of code.

Very nice addition to the original work. Brilliant way of handling events for the components. Has anyone tried passing parameters from the created components? I was able to use e.currentTarget.label to pass information from a button back to the main application, but this is a sorely limiting hack. Any ideas?

That is what I was thinking…thank you for the verification and thank you for sharing your insight and example.
