> What defines XML as "dynamic"? When I think of something being dynamic in AS3, I think of accessing arbitrary properties that are not known by the compiler. With `XML` and `XMLList` in AS3, you you can do stuff like this: `xml.someRandomName.anythingYouWant`. The names `someRandomName` and `anythingYouWant` are not known by the compiler. You are allowed to use any name you want, a lot like the `Object` or `*` types. > So while that will work, there's lots of extra calls to Language.string. It would be better if we can avoid that. Have you tried using the `-strict-xml=true` compiler option? The default behavior matches the classic Flex SDK compiler (there's a comment in the Royale compiler that says that Adobe did this on purpose), but I think that Alex added this new option to allow someone to opt into stricter XML typing. The description notes that you might get extra warnings, though. I haven't personally tried it, except as a quick experiment to see if `toXMLString()` would resolve (and it did). This option may be worth trying to see if you can get the behavior that you personally are looking for. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
