The style of writing is very familiar to me. Have you written guest posts for other blogs?

Hi, I am curious to know about how to place your components some where so that they will appear in the component panel of flex IDE for all projects. Do you have some idea?

Hi Aral,

my mistake, already found out what the problem was.
I was simply trying to add MXML Components dynamically with actionscript -> and that doesnt work at least not without building a full fletched AS3 component.
And then I found out about Runtime SharedLibraries …. :)

Hi Amir,

I’m not sure I understand the problem. If you can you send me a simple Flex Builder project that isolates this issue, I’ll take a look at it.

Dear Aral,
thanks a bunch for the nice starting points towards Flex 2 and AS3. Concerning the ‘code behind’ method to inject life into components i ran across a funny thing. Flex always creates me two custom components for the supposably same class/mxml file. I dont get it ? where is my mistake ?
I specify the mxml root tag as the class name with the package of the class as the custom tag namespace and instantiate the the Component per actionscript inside the Application Container, actually pretty simple… dah :)
Inside the components panel I have two custom components named LoginView though… °°blub
What do I do wrong ?

Aral, apologies for the basic question, but what files do I need to download from the SVN repository to start with ARP?

Hi Olegs,

It’s the same workflow when using transitions and application states. Depending on how much of a purist you are, you may see difining transitions and application states in MXML as ugly (if you view the MXML as purely being for the definition of the UI.) Even if you do, however, you can easily define them in ActionScript in Flex 2. Personally, in Flex 2, I believe that if you are consistent (ie., if you always define your transitions, states, etc. in either MXML or ActionScript) then either method is fine.

What about application states and transitions with code behind workflow?
