[xray] LuminixBox - Flash Inspector addition

[John Grden]

Hey all, I had originally written in a way to add custom swf's to Xray at
runtime, but it was a bit of a hack and I shelfed it until I could come up
with a better solution.  I was actually hoping to write a new, resizable
interface so that apps like FlashInpector wouldn't have to rework their
layout.

well, the new interface is probably going to take a bit longer than I had
hoped, so for now I'm going to make it a menu option that brings up a
container with the loaded SWF (Flashinspector in this case).

before I do the work, I thought I should get comments/suggestions on how to
implement this.

My thought was to allow an external XML file.  if it exists, Xray would load
it into the menu system and based on the criteria in the XML doc, the
required SWF would be loaded into it's own container.

<menuExtension>
   <menuItem>
      <title>FlashInspector</title>
      <src>flashinspector.swf</src>
   </menuItem>
</menuExtension>

any suggestions on this?  is there another prefered way?

My thought was to keep it as simple as possible.  In this way, all the user
has to do, is make an XML doc like this and make sure
flashinspector.swfexists in the same folder, or whereever they
specified the path to be.
