[flexcoders] where can i access previous emails to this list?

[Sauro, Nick]

Hey guys, thanks matt for helping me w/ that packaging problem, it worked.  As it turned out, it didn’t’ like the xmlns=”*”.   Where is the archive of this group?  I need to look up an answer to a question someone previously posted about setting column width’s in  data grid, and I don’t want to re ask it(unless someone knows the answer off the top of their head J ) .   Anyways, if someone can post that link here, it would be much appreciated.  Thanks a lot everyone.  I think it was email.com/flexcoders or something like that.   Thanks   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jaime Bermudez Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 11:58 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] namespace/directory structure issue   Still waiting for ideas on an approach, but I thought I'd set up the problem a little better: Here's the developer directory structure for my project: >main    app.mxml    >as        app.as        appTest.as    >assets (images, etc.)    >components    >test        >test1            test1.mxml            >as                Components.as        >test2            test2.mxml            >as                 Components.as I added the following path-element to the actionscript-classpath in flex-config.xml: <path-element>/main</path-element> so I can use the same namespace declarations in test1.mxml as I use in app.mxml.  I reference appTest.as in a Script block as <Script source="../../as/appTest.as">. The appTest.as refers to the Components class, which I import in each test"X".mxml file. The problem I'm seeing is that a handful of components have embedded image files that are referenced in a source or icon parameter as "assets/image.xxx".  I'm pretty sure that these are all paths relative to the location of the app file being called, so the references are only being found for app.mxml.  Is my only and best option to define some image root variable at the app level that I can prepend to each image call (thereby forcing me to check-out and change every class that embeds images)?  Is there a standard approach to this problem? Thanks.
