I wrote about this earlier on the user's list but now that I decided to
make the leap to swf 10 runtime I got into trouble.
My issue is this.
I have tons of methods in a class/view (doesn't matter which).
<view
<method_1/>
...
<mwthod_n/>
</view>
For the sake of source code organization I split it into many parts.
First I tried to just to include the methods (as in including an instance)
<view>
<include href="methods_relating_to_issue_A.lzx"/>
<include href="methods_relating_to_issue_A.lzx"/>
<include href="methods_relating_to_issue_A.lzx"/>
</view>
Here the problem was that the included files must have a single root.
When including a library, the library tag takes care of this.
So I wrote the includes as mixins and got away with that on swf8.
<view with="methods_relating_to_issue_A, methods_relating_to_issue_B,
methods_relating_to_issue_C"/>
But on swf10 flex compiler complains that I refer to methods in some of
the mixins that are not inside that same mixin. I think it is a
reasonable complaint since you could use the mixin anywhere you like and
then those references would cause problems.
The correct way is to include the methods as "instances" using the
include tag.
So what I would need is a tag like
<instance>
<method_1/>
...
<mwthod_n/>
</instance>
And when I include such a file that instance tag would simply disappear.
What do you think?
Should I file a New Feature or Improvement into Jira?
