Flex Component Definitions for MXML and Images Export
When exporting a Fireworks document with the MXML and Image export, Fireworks checks each element's
property for definitions that dictate how that element should appear in the resulting MXML. If no
customData
MXML-related definitions are found, the element is exported as an image. Each Flex component found in the
Fireworks common library already has unique
wish to have elements within your document export as their own custom MXML tags you can do so with the
following definitions.
customData
flexClassName
Flex component symbols are associated as being Flex Components by the MXML and Images import through a
property called
customData
Format
flexClassName = "WhichClass";
When this property is present in a Fireworks element, the MXML and Images export process exports the element
as a specific MXML tag and not as an image. Its value indicates the tag name of the MXML class generated.
Example
element.customData["flexClassName"] = "ComboBox";
The above line indicates that the element object is a Flex component whose MXML class is ComboBox. For rich
symbols this code should be placed within the
initially defines the rich symbol.
Example
function setDefaultValues() {
Widget.elem.customData["flexClassName"] = "ComboBox";
// additional code...
}
switch (Widget.opCode) {
case 1: setDefaultValues();
// additional code...
}
All Flex widgets provided with Fireworks already have this property defined. The class name used determines the
behavior of each of those components as determined internally within the MXML and Images export.
When you create a custom rich symbol, you must define the
Images export to treat the rich symbol as an MXML tag and not an exported image. The class name you decide to
use will be used in the resulting MXML tag. For example, if you defined
MXML tag is
<mx:Foo ... />
