i have same probem...
but if i write this viewstacks in mxml component then how to use these components in main mxml file. do we need to compile before use them??

[Utkarsh kaushal]

Step 1: Add name space in mx:Application tag for example

<mx:Application

xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:mycomponent="com.yourorg.yourdept.applicationname.subfolderifany.components.*"

backgroundColor="#AAAAAA" layout="vertical" top="0" left="0" bottom="0" right="0" paddingTop="0" paddingLeft="0" paddingBottom="0" paddingRight="0" horizontalGap="0" verticalGap="0" initialize="init()" applicationComplete="onApplicationComplete()" >

 

Step:2 Place your components (.mxmls) under path specified for example

com.yourorg.yourdept.applicationname.subfolderifany.components

 

Step 3: use the name space to invoke your components. For example:

mycomponent:Header id="yourId" visible="false" ... and assign the values to attributes/events etc myevent="onClickEventHandler(event)" />

 

Here Header.mxml is defined under folder com.yourorg.yourdept.applicationname.subfolderifany.components and has an event named myevent.

 

Hope this will help.

 

Thanks,

Kaushal.

Dear Swapna/Raj,

I have one more solution for you requirement, might not be the best but works for me.
If you are displaying other mxml components in main mxml .... create the other mxml components as MXML Modules.
and on click event callback in your main mxml of some button or link load the MXML module as bellow

var currentModule:IModuleInfo = ModuleManager.getModule("OtherMxml1.swf");
currentModule.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, OtherMxml1EventHandlers); //you can have event listeners for each otherMxml component.

And in OtherMxmlEventHandlers function
============================================
private function OtherMxml1EventHandler (e:ModuleEvent):void {
    var currentScreenForm:Object = currentModule.factory.create() as OtherMxml1;
    mainPanel.removeAllChildren(); // Main Panel is Panel in the Maim mxml file.
    mainPanel.addChild(currentScreenForm as DisplayObject);
}

If you are using Flex Builder then creating mxml modules is very easy and will be loaded only when required. You can also unload the module to free up the memory.The compilation of modules would be taken care by FB and can be optimized to Main MXML.

I am sorry if I am not very clear. I posted some snippet of code from my project. Hope this helps you a bit.

view stack method is more easy to use... i would recommend you to use view stack....
which ide are you using to code......
flex builder will automatically add the namespace for you.........

View stack is the best.
