The program that I'm working on is for a company that does registrations for conventions and trade-shows. Different clients want different information stored for each show. Most of the information is the same from show-to-show, but every show has certain customizations that need to be done.
The way they're doing it now is by going into the source code of their program and modifying it that way. We could do the same thing with our Flex app, but I'm trying like heck to avoid that... The problem I'm running into is the Flex Value Objects -- they pretty much have to be compiled into the .SWF file, which means we're stuck modifying source-code and re-compiling for each individual show. Not the solution we want. Is there a way to dynamically create and/or modify Value Objects so they can be changed without re-compiling the .SWF file? So that if a particular client wants stuff tracked that a different client doesn't want tracked, we don't have to create a generic version of our database that has all these extra fields in it, which most clients don't need? As it stands right now, the Value Objects force us to make every database for every show exactly the same -- unless we modify the Value Objects for each individual show and re-compile a separate .SWF file for that show... If there were a way to write, say, an .XML file that the program could read and modify itself accordingly for each show, that would be brilliant. Is there a way to do that?
