Me thinks Charlie and Dale are speaking Apples to Oranges :) Or maybe I got Lemons on the mind.
What Charlie mentions is that you can in fact spell out the namespace on every MXML node. I've seen some folks do this, seeming as dedicated followers of fashionable XML standards. Most cases I do not see this use, rather the namespace is listed once in the root tag. Dale, the namespace that appears when the automagicness happens can be defined in properties of the swc and some third-parties use the URI of the namespace. Any lookups to these should be getting cached in Eclispe for a bit. Douglas Knudsen http://www.cubicleman.com this is my signature, like it?
