====== xleff2as ======
**[[XLEFF2AS]]** is a automization tool for generating AS 2.0 stubcode for [[XLEFF]]. It parses XLEFF documents an generates the corresponding AS code for each component instance.


**[[xleff2as]]** is a part of [[XLEFF TBX]]

====== Why? ======

Some background: 

XLEFF generates all event handler for each component instance automaticaly. This is very usefull and saves a lot of time. You just have to follow some naming conventions in order to access the events. 

-------------------
For example:

In your XLEFF-doc you declare a button instance named "TestButton" with someting like this:

''<button name="TestButton" lbl="Test">''

If you now would have access to the buttons "click" event, you have to write this as-code:

''function onTestButton_Click(evtObj:Object):Void
{
   trace(evtObj.target._name + " has been clicked");
}''
------------------

This is quite easy, but its also easy tho make typing errors :+)
Also its sometimes boring to write all this stubcode for each event.
In larger project it can be painfull too to rename instances an its event handlers.

Therefore i found it would be nice to have tool which parses the XLEFF-doc an generates the correct stubcode for each event handler automaticaly.

... the idea of [[XLEFF2AS]] was born !



====== Features ======


comming soon ...

====== Demo ======

You can watch a little video i made, which shows the workflow of [[XLEFF2AS]].
In this video i simply modify a demofile of Antonio and add a new button instance to it.
After that i generate the stubcode for the buttons event handler with [[XLEFF2AS]].
At last i batch complie the whole stuff with mtasc and our modified [[XLEFF]] framework which we named as [[XLEFF4MTASC]].

You can watch the flv video [[http://www.3kopf.de/projekte/xleff2as/demo_xleff2as_xleff4mtasc.flv|here]] (~10.6mb).






====== Future ======

  * automatic recognition of suitable events for each component instance
  * interface improvements
  * alternitive .jsfl version for use inside the Flash IDE
  * AS3 support
  * source code online
