Embedding external files using [Embed]

OK, I learnt this trick a few weeks ago from a co-worker. A user emailed me and asked if it was possible to embed an HTML/text file in a Flex application rather than having to load the files at runtime, similar to how you can embed images or whatnot.

Not being certain, I asked the team and got this response…

foobar.as

package {

    import flash.utils.ByteArray;  

    [Embed(source="test.mxml", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]

    public class foobar extends ByteArray

    {

    }

}

test.mxml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="testMe()">  

<mx:Script>

    <![CDATA[

       public var myText:foobar = new foobar();

        public function testMe():void {

            trace(myText.toString());

        }

    ]]>

</mx:Script>  

</mx:Application>
