Problem including mxml code

[meekgeek]

I want to keep my code clean and I would like to include my code in other
seperate files.

What would be the mxml script equivalent of an actionscript #include?

I tired placing

<Mypage />

in my code that would refrence Mypage.mxml, but I get a URI error.

Am I doing this wrong?

<Mypage xmlns="*"/> will read it in from the root level. Remember, Flex
is all about XML namespaces.

HTH,

Thank you for your reply.

I had the files under my /flex folder. Would the root level be the one on top
of that?

Also could you point me to some more info on xml namespaces?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe in this context, "root" means the current folder, the one the
application mxml file is in.

You CAN use <mx:Script source="myFile.as" /> to include an actionscript file,
but I do not reccomend it because of the 32k limit issues.

Instead, create a "helper class" with the AS code in it. I typically have one
for UI manipulation and one for data-oriented stuff. then, in the mxml file,
do:
<UIFunc id="ui" app={this}.../>

And access your helper class members:
ui.myPublicFunc();
ui.myPublicVariable;

Note I am passing a reference to the application scope into the class to make
it easier to work with app-level members in the helper class. To do this,
declare a public variable typed as the application name:
public var app:MyAppFileName;

Ok, I found this. I think this might answer my question and anybody else that was wondering too.
