Thanks to everyone who replied to this. Since I think my biggest problem is understanding the translation of the MXML tag, the way to go for me is to look at the MXML documentation and to read the generated code (thanks - I'd forgetten about that).
My overall comment is that the documentation is rather recipe-based - and that can be very useful - but it's good to also have a more formal and complete definition of what a language feature means (in the way, for example, that the Java Language Specification says what Java programs mean). --- In [email protected], "mauricen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks very much for your time in writing this; it's very helpful.
