We need to know how the compiler generates the array of data that represents the MXML file. But MXML is supposed to be valid XML, so there is no need for a custom parser, at least for the POC. Maybe you will need more smarts later. You can look at the Falcon MXML parser if you want, but I'm pretty sure I didn't borrow code from there. -Alex
