Organizing Flex Custom components

[rottmanja]

This may sound dumb, but for me unorganized projects is one of my biggest pet
peves.

I have a project that I am working on that uses alot of custom components.
Normally I would use just <componentname />

Now the question I have is, if I want to brek these down into sections
(folders) and have only my index.mxml file in the top webroot folder. How would
I use my custom componets.

IE.

webroot
Index.mxml
status (this is a folder)
addSale.mxml

Ok so I have the index.mxml and the folder status under my webroot directory
for the project. How would I use my custom compoent under the status folder.
Would it be something like <status/addSale.mxml />. Or is there something else
I need to do.

Look in the docs for "namespace".

Basically, in your application tag you declare a namespace like this:
xmlns:myns="status/*"

Then you can do:
<myns:addSale ..../>

That's just from memory, you will want to look it up.

If component files are in the same directory as the application file or in the
ActionScript classpath directory (not a subdirectory), you can refer to them as
the following example shows. In this example, the component's namespace (*) is
mapped to the prefix MyComp.

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml"
xmlns:MyComp="*">
<MyComp:MyButton/>
...
<mx:Application>

#

If the same file exists in the ActionScript classpath directory and the
application directory, Flex uses the file in the application file directory.
# If the component is in a subdirectory of the directory that contains the
MXML application file, you use a namespace that specifies the subdirectory. The
following code declares a component that is in the custom/components
subdirectory of the directory that contains the MXML file in which it is used:

<m1:MyComponent xmlns:m1="custom.components.*"/>

If the same file exists in the ActionScript classpath directory and the
application directory, Flex uses the file in the application file directory.
