Hi,

There is an intriguing article in the flex cookbook on the adobe site about
reading in MXML at runtime and using the XML object to create components 
at runtime. While
I don't totally get how this works as there are no code samples, but 
very vague actually, but it states:

"Let’s consider, for a moment, how Adobe might have chosen to leverage 
reuse within the Flex2 programming model.

"Assuming the Adobe engineers did not want to have to recreate the wheel 
in terms of how to make Flex2 able to load normal non-GUI XML I would 
surmise they chose to simply reuse whatever code they wrote that was 
able to read MXML into a way to read XML.

"As we know, MXML resembles XML rather closely. Heck, MXML is XML ! 
Yipee, now I can easily read MXML because it is essentially a form of XML.

"We also know Flex2 knows how to read MXML at runtime because the 
compiler knows how to convert MXML into GUI Objects.

"But what if we could trick Flex2 into dynamically loading MXML at 
runtime ?"


So my question, has anyone ever done this and how did they do it? I'm 
not talking about using the
modules package to load in precompiled swfs. But loading in mxml and 
having it run after being loaded.

Best, Austin
