Hi- Mike Chambers wrote: | | It would be possible (and I don't believe too difficult) for | a developer to create new MXML tags / components that exposed | the underlying ActionScript drawing API to the XML layer. | i.e., so you could do something like this: | | <drawing:Square heigth="50" width="50" fillColor="0x003300" />
Alternately, you could use an XML dialect that already has a well-established set of semantic geometric tags, and say something like: <rect x='10' y='25' height='50' width='50' fill='blue' /> ...but I guess that would be too easy. | This would just be implimented as a custom flex component, | which would be exposed via XML / MXML. The above would be implemented as a well-known standardized tag, and would be exposed via the XML DOM, a standard and standardized API that most Web programmers already know and which can be used across multiple XML dialects. p.s. Just to be utterly pedantic, a square always has 4 equal sides, so Mike's example really just needs an x and y for the origin, and a sideLength, not a width and height. ;) I'm really not chopping on Mike, BTW... the beauty of XML is that it can define a language just the way he proposes. In fact, sXBL is intended to encapsulate "high level" XML dialects into renderable shapes. I'm just saying that SVG is already here, and has been for years.
