Comments on: Dynamic MXML tags in Flex 3.0. Please? http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/2006/10/31/dynamic-mxml-tags-in-flex-30-please A blog about our experience with Adobe Flex Sun, 15 Jan 2012 16:29:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Anatole Tartakovsky http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/2006/10/31/dynamic-mxml-tags-in-flex-30-please/comment-page-1#comment-567 Anatole Tartakovsky Fri, 03 Nov 2006 01:11:20 +0000 http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/?p=110#comment-567 Ely, Ouch, I feel so ashamed - I thought I tried it (could of been beta) and now it works!!! Very cool. As far as strong typing we misuse binding with <tag expando="{true}" - may be different syntax would make it look cleaner and let developers distinguish initialization from binding/rid all the binding warnings. Thank you, Anatole Ely,

Mark a class dynamic, and you can add whatever attributes/child tags you want to its tag in MXML. Regarding your second request...I agree with the value of the request, and would love to add it in F3 (which is not the same thing as saying it will be in F3...those are sadly very often two different things). It has to be added carefully though...hitting the right balance where instances can be easily decorated, without losing the benefits of strong typing, is a delicate thing.

Certainly allowing more properties on a dynamic class seems easy enough. I'm not sure about adding property bags onto every control, but who knows...
