In my attempt to allow dynamic states based on annotations without a big refactoring of the Flex SDK, I have successfully implemented something which is working pretty well. And again it is all running inside of an OSGi runtime so I created a simple extension to the OSGi framework that monitors any added UIComponent on the stage and check if the component is candidate for a DynamicStateHost ready to received DynamicState.
Equivalently each time a bundle is loaded in the OSGi runtime, it also checks if there is any candidate which is a DynamicState for the previously identified DynamicStateHost. I tested the code with an empty [host] Module containing zero state which is annotated with [DynamicStateHost(name="host")] and 2 other modules that are annotated with [DynamicState(name="editor", target="host", default=true)] [DynamicState(name="marketplace", target="host", default=false)] When the OSGi runtime instanciates the Main UI [DynamicStateHost] it gets added on the stage and my extension intercepts it and check what was already parsed from the annotations. The extension gives the hand to the normal Flex process of handling the DynamicAddItem that I created based on the AddItem that are generated by the mxml compiler. This is a success and I'm pleased by the result. Thanx for the guidance Alex. Best Regards Ergü 21.10.2019, 17:11, "Alex Harui" <aha...@adobe.com.invalid>: > IMO, Binding is independent from states.
