Custom Actions Editor is a Windows
Desktop Application, built with Screenweaver
and Macromedia
Flash MX, for creating Flash MX documentation (XML
files).
The idea for this application came to mind during the
Screenweaver beta when someone (Arul) came up with a
Flash
Reference Viewer and some of us thought it would
be cool to be able to edit the documentation, instead
of just viewing it.
So, I got started and looked into using existing CustomActions
files, but soon found out that there's not really a
proper document type definition (DTD) and hardly any
2 existing XML files are the same, which makes parsing
them into usable Flash data very difficult.
At that point, I got kinda stuck and it wasn't until
I saw gModeler
that it occurred to me that I had to figure out my own
XML format and take it from there..
Using xmlspy®
5 I created an XML Schema and DTD,
then created an XML file, loaded it into Flash and wrote
an xml2tree parser to display the data in a Drag
and Drop FTree, which is an extension to the standard
UI FTree Component. |
