You always need to embed onto a variable of type class or string. Using
[Embed] on XML is actually an undocumented trick, I believe, but it
works something like this:
[Embed('Data/Summary.xml')]
private var summaryClass:Class;
If I remember correctly, it creates a class with a (static?) "data"
member of type XML.

Subject: [flexcoders] Embedding XML document in Actionscript
Hello list;
I can't do this in MXML:
<mx:XML id="summary" source="Data/summary.xml"/>
But I can't do this in ActionScript
[Embed( 'Data/Summary.xml' )]
private var summary : XML
(I get this compiler error: Embed only supported with variables
of
type Class or String. )
Any workarounds?
