Hi there, I'm starting work on a project that displays information
from a database, generating text fields and loading swf clips and
pngs dynamically with the layout defined in the data passed from the
database (this will specify an xml file from a library that holds the
layout for the page that will display the content).
I was going to build this using a bunch of classes in Flash in AS3
and have started planning this out but then wondered if it might be
simpler to do this in Flex as it uses XML to define the layout
(though I am thinking of using a library of xml files containing
spefic layouts for each page). I have little experience of using Flex
and lots of experience using Flash AS2 & 3.
I imagine that it's possible to update the MXML on the fly to
generate new text fields and specify their properties as well as
loading SWFs dynamically.
My questions are;
1) is it easy to update the MXML dynamically to generate textfields
and movieclips that display loaded SWFs /PNGs?
2) if so, can anyone point me to some tutorials that might help?
3) what are the benefits of doing this in Flex rather than Flash CS3?
Cheers guys and girls,
Ali
