If I wanted to do something like this:
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
verticalScrollPolicy="off"

How would I get a handle on myCanvas (where I'd want myCanvas to be the root )?
I'm using flex 4 to build a program and I am getting this error on one module I call. Does this refer to the module document (.mxml) or the actually xml file the module it calling?
View 2 RepliesI experienced the following error when loading xml using AS3. I searched the whole internet for solutions but nothing works! But after trying for hours, i somehow solve it. All I did was to remove "</xml>" from my xml.

I'm working with eclipse, blazeds and Flex Plugin, and every time I create a Web Dynamic Project then add a Flex Project Nature to it this error: "An unknown item is declared as the root of your mxml document" appears just as the perspective view changes and I click on the design mode. As far as I know the only lines of code written on the screen are the standard in any other program, but I'll put here anyway so you can have a go at it if there's something realyy wrong and I didn't see:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Anyways, I've been trying to figure this out for quite some time.Let's say I have my document class. I'm guessing the document class can correspond to the first thing that gets run? (such as the "main" function in most C++/low level languages).If I set a variable in it:var myNumber:Number = 10;how would Iaccess: "myNumber" from other objects in my stage?Like a movieclip on my stage for example.If I go inside that movieclip into the movieclip's first frame, how would I say:trace(TheDocumentClass.myNumber);Another similar question is, what about the actual stage frame?If I click on frame 1 of my stage, set a variable:var aNumber:Number = 5;how would I access it from other objects?In my movieclip's first frame, what would I put?trace(root.aNumber); ?trace(stage.aNumber); ?

View 3 RepliesI'm new to flex. Now I'm writing an flex application. I plan to split my application into some MXML files(Application as the root tag).

Is there a way to access the DOM-Elements of a mxml file in a way that you can in JS (e.g. using Prototype or jQuery)?
I need to know if a top-level element has a child (sub-sub-...-childs) with a certain id.
In JS (using prototype) it would be something like:
