MXML is 100% compliant with XML syntax; it can be parsed by XML tools. But that is different from saying that you can write an XML Schema document that describes which tags and attributes are legitimate in which locations.
For example, one of the rules of MXML is that you can write a scalar property as either an attribute or a child tag. That isn't something that is easy to describe in Schema. Also, you can put controls inside containers, but not containers inside controls... well, except for renderers... This kind of thing is also hard to describe in Schema. We attempted to provide a Schema for 1.X and it proved to be extremely ugly. If you value your time at more than minimum wage, trying to write your own schema for MXML will almost surely cost you more than buying FlexBuilder 2, which has been built to understand all the rules of MXML. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 5:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] DTD Schema for Flex 2 On Thursday 15 June 2006 12:54, Michael Schmalle wrote: > It's like finding out majik isn't real huh... :( Kinda.
