If I am building the Swiz framework

from the source code, what compiler arguments do I need?

-keep-as3-metadata+=Inject,Autowire,Outject,Mediate,Dispatcher,PostConstruct,PreDestroy 
-namespace http://swiz.swizframework.org manifest.xml 
-include-namespaces http://swiz.swizframework.org

I try to access my autowired property during creationComplete but the reference is still null?

A: Swiz autowires the view on addedToStage which is after creationComplete. Autowire a setter function to have direct access to the injected reference.

I can’t use Autowire in my root Application container. What’s wrong?

A: Metadata can’t be used in the root Application container. It’s the only place where this is the case. But the solution is easy: Just create your own component to act as a parent view container, and add this as a child to the root Application. Swiz will autowire this component with no problems. So for example, something like this:

<mx:Application
       xmlns:mx   = "http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
       xmlns:view = "view.*"
       xmlns:swiz="http://swiz.swizframework.org">

       <swiz:SwizConfig
               strict="false"
               id="config"
               mediateBubbledEvents="true"
               viewPackages="view"
               beanLoaders="{[Beans]}" />

       <!-- Autowiring will work fine in this child container. -->
       <view:MyApplicationContainer
               width  = "100%"
               height = "100" />

</mx:Application>

I tried to compile the library from the SVN source but get the error: “Access of undefined property flex4.”?

A: You are missing the conditional compilation flag: -define=CONFIG::flex4 true or false for older Flex versions.

Does Swiz work with Flex 4?

A: Yes, Swiz works with Flex 2,3 and 4.

Does Swiz work with Adobe AIR?

A: Yes, there is in general no difference between Web or AIR development.

I have dispatched an event from a view but the dynamic mediator is not invoked?

A: You have to set mediateBubbledEvents in the SwizConfig tag AND the bubble property of the event to true.

Where is my application logic starting point?

A: Let your main controller implement IInitializingBean and start with your application logic in the initialize method. Swiz calls initialize on these beans when the autowiring process is complete.

How should I dispatch events from bean classes?

A: You can either implement the IDispatcherBean interface or the BeanLoader also contains a protected dispatcher property which you can directly bind in the BeanLoader declaration of your classes.

Why did my view not get autowired?

A: Be sure that the viewPackages in the SwizConfig tag are set correctly.

Autowire and Mediate does not work with my own compiled version of Swiz?

A: You forgot the compiler flag -keep-as3-metadata+=Autowire,Mediate.

Autowire and Mediate does not work with my own compiled version of Swiz in release builds?

A: You have a space between -keep-as3-metadata and +=Autowire,Mediate.
