very basic question: Page navigations?

[jarmanje]

Hello there. I am trying to understand how you navigate between pages in Flex.

I have two mxml files. main.mxml and content.mxml.

On the main.mxml, i have a button.
When i click this button, how can i then load the content.mxml? Or even, WHERE do i load it? Do i just treat mxml files like a movieclip in flash?

thanks for any help

Okie.just go through the attached code. This might help you........

I have a Application called EX.mxml, in which I define 2 mxml files

Here EX.mxml is the application which is in the main src folder.
Now create a folder called "com" under source.
Save both main.mxml and content.mxml in to "com" folder


***.........Now please go through the attachment...........***

Great example, thanks a lot!

Would you recommend not to exceed 3 mxml files? After reading around, it looks like i should navigate between pages using components. not the treat mxml files like a movie clip :)

It's quite strange seeing how to navigate this moving from just flash AS3.0 experience :)

Yes, that is generally the preferred way. Create each of your pages as a component and use a ViewStack to navigate between them.
