Hi, all. I am stepping through the tutorial on our website for building
your first application [1], to see if it is clear enough for someone who
does not already know how to do this.
I am on the step that starts to build up the data model and use a service
call, and am wondering whether, before this, it would be useful to say
quickly what the typical layout of the main .mxml file in a Royale app is.
Please correct me, but I believe the standard structure is:
- .xml tag to indicate the version and the encoding, like UTF-8
- open <application> tag with some declarations about namespaces, page
title, initial view, and so on
-- <fx:script> area to hold imports from libraries, imports of
components, initialization of variables, and declaration of functions
-- <fx declarations> area to hold things like effects, validators, and
formatters
-- service call area to hold things like <https> calls to fetch or send
data
-- <js:initialView> area to hold the visible components of the user
interface
- closing <application> tag.
Am I missing something in that very-high-level outline?
