2012-01-21 Thread Haykel BEN JEMIA
Hi, As far as I know, most of the standard metadata defined through the standard metadata tags (Event, Style, Inspectable etc.) is mainly used by Flash Builder for auto-completion and in the design view. Is this data included in the compiled swf? If yes, would it make sense to define them outside

Sure metadata is important and must be kept, I was just thinking about metadata used only by IDEs and not required during runtime like the 'Style' tag. But if they are not included, then the issue does not exist. Thanks. On 21 January 2012 11:41, Michael Schmalle wrote: > Quoti
