Thanks for the response Alex.
And this works great for my test example!
However, I am curious, is this as deep as you can go, one level? Or is
it possible to nest it deeper?
Just trying to get an idea of whats allowed and how its actually
working.
Nesting one level deeper, in a simple test application, I get the error
:
"could not resolve <local:imageVar> to a component implementation".
so, for an example, if you had a ParentContainer, that had a variable
named "childComponent", that has a variable named "imageVar".
<local:ParentContainter>
<local:childComponent>
<local:imageVar>
<mx:Image source="myTestImage.jpg" />
</local:imageVar>
</local: childComponent >
</local: ParentContainter >
This gives the "could not resolve <local:imageVar> to a component
implementation". error.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] What is the MXML syntax for this?
Are you looking for:
<local:myContainerComponent id="containerComponent">
<local:imageVar>
<mx:Image source="myTestImage.jpg" />
</local:imageVar>
</local:myContainerComponent>

I have a component, that has a property of type Image. I need to
assign a new Image component to it. this is trivial to do in action
script. But, how do I do it in MXML?
Example:
mxml:
<local:myContainerComponent id="containerComponent"/>
actionscript:
var myImage:Image = new Image("myTestImage.jpg");
containerComponent.imageVar = myImage;
Is there anyway to do that creation of the image, and assignment
purely from MXML? The image cant be a child of anything else, so I cant
just declare it randomly somewhere in the same container.
For context, im using the Flash Component Kit, and the
myContainerComponent is a container exported from flash a
"mx.flash.ContainerMovieClip". And it requires you to assign a component
to its "content" property. Ideally, id like to create and assign this
content component using mxml only.
