Does it mean that if I create project with complex UI components, compile it as Flex Project with mxmlc, then load this module SWF as RSL library loaded - to the same ApplicationDomain, then create it dynamically and put to some application window and as result all my UI components/remoting/effects will work correctly? >>> The player doesn't know SWCs, but you're welcome to write an AS3 SWC parser. <<< OK, under SWC I mean dynamic library compiled as SWF, there is no AS3 parser or player stuff at all. It's all around "compc" generated code. I think current AS3 functionality is enough to implement all these task, it's all about generated AS3 code. Probably no player code changes are required. Flex modules architecture is somehow similar to C++ DLLs in Win32. Where modules are loaded/unloaded automatically, just plain ::LoadLibrary Win32 API call, and PE module loaded and initialized correctly. Each PE module has own entry point, by default it's DllMain. When module loaded DLL_PROCESS_ATACH event send to this callback by system. C++ compiler also provides ability to override entry point and provide own implementation. If C++ DLLs uses C++ Runtime, it provides runtime DllMain implementation, and this implementation knows how initialize module, because C++ compiler also knows stuff to initialize at compile time, it stores this information somewhere inside as special variables, function classes. And latter C++ Runtime initialize this DLL in runtime. The same situtation is with C++ MFC DLLs, they provide custom DllMain implementation which in response to DLL_PROCESS_ATACH event initialize library using AfxInitExtensionModule call. This function uses internal module AFX_EXTENSION_MODULE structure to regsiter dynamic classes an other things. In my understanding something similar should exist in Flex - I create library project, and compile SWF file. Library compiler stores all init iformation in library ABC code (as classes, function, variables etc) and generates initialization callback function. Then user call Loader.load method, and after module loaded, initialization callback is executed, and library loaded automatically. Sorry for boring with C++ analogy, but it's very similar to Flex one as for me. SWF == PE (Portable Executable module EXE, DLL), mxmlc/compc == C++ compiler+linker, Flash player runtime == Win32 API, etc -- Thanks, Vadim Melnik. --- In [email protected], "Roger Gonzalez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > It's interesting idea.
