Namespaces in FXG
Hi,
This sample FXG file [1] I got generated from Flash Catalyst CS5.5
in my latest Flex mobile project. I wonder what all these namespaces
are good for and if I need to keep them? Usually, when using these
FXG skins in my Flex projects I go through these FXG files and remove
all the namespaces beside the most important one:
xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008"
Is there a simple XSLT parser out there that can remove these possibly
unneeded namespaces automatically? This would be a real time saver.
Thank you!

Adobe tools are not under the control of Apache Flex. If those tools stop
importing and exporting FXG, Apache Flex can't really do anything about it.
Now some of the file formats of the popular tools are documented so anyone
can write a conversion tool for those and choose any namespace to manage
information not directly tied to the rendering.

Sorry Alex,
I was a little mixing the topics here. My basic concern is about loosing
the FXG extension support in the Adobe design tools [1] [2], and, the
interconnection to Apache Flex that is dependent on FXG for now. Knowing
the internals of the other namespaces of FXG would be beneficial in case
Adobe would stop FXG support in their design tools like Photoshop CS6
(and later), Illustrator CS6 (and later) and Fireworks CS6 (and later),
because
then, we would have to write our own FXG extensions for Apache Flex
designers.
Sorry, you git and compiler guys on this list,
bothering you with design related stuff here!

+1 on the documentation. Maybe a PDF. There are tags are being removed on
the specifications page. For example, search for "broad" and in the
document and you'll see this,
"Elements such as , ,
<SolidColor<http://sourceforge.net/adobe/flexsdk/wiki/SolidColor>>
define actual content that typically appear in or directly affect the
rendering of an FXG document. "

Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to do. I thought you knew
which of a couple of namespaces you needed and would ignore the rest. When
compiled into the SWF, I don't think any of the product specific namespaces
matter.

Ok Alex,
I'll give it a try. Is there any more documentation beside of this [1]
about FXG and its supported namespaces? Is there a DTD or a XSD
Schema that describes the language set?

I don't think you need XSLT to filter out certain namespaces. But it is up
to you.

Thanks Alex,
I have had a look for XSLT with AIR. Is
that the way [1] you whould propose it?

Should be possible to write an AIR app to do that. Want to try to create
it?
