Re: How it is compiling Assets.as to Assets.swf

[OmPrakash Muppirala <bi...@gmail.com>]

Gautam,

There are multiple ways you can use/reuse FXG in your Flex apps

1) You can instantiate FXG inline in your MXML code like any other
component.  I use that a lot in my MXML based skins.

<s:Group>
    <assets:MyFXG top="10" left="10"/>
<s:/Group

2) You can also instantiate it and add it to the display list in AS3:

var upIconClass:Class  = assets.fxg.MyFXG;
var upIconInstance:DisplayObject = new upIconClass();
addChild(upIconInstance);

3) If you must use it as a source for an image, you could do something like
this:

<s:BitmapImage id="img" source = "{assets.fxg.MyFXG}" />

One caveat is that this will cause the FXG to get rasterized.  So, you lose
the capability of scaling up/down of the asset in runtime, which IMO is one
of the best features of vector graphics.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Om
