Embed types for AS3 & Flex

// Embed types for AS3 & Flex

/*
Note, mxmlc recognizes your src folder "Default Package" as '/' (root) when using:

 [Embed], source="@Embed('')" or  @font-face  tags.
 
For example... if your assets folder is a sibling of the src folder, you access using
the slightly odd path:

 /../assets/

Embed automatically transcodes these filetypes:
 JPG/JPEG, GIF, PNG and SVG/SVGZ image files (supports a subset of SVG 1.1)
 MP3 sound files
 TTF font files (use @font-face to embed these)
 Installed system fonts
 SWF files and specific symbols inside them

// Supported Image types...
[Embed(source="/../assets/images/image.png")]
[Embed(source="/../assets/images/image.jpg")]
[Embed(source="/../assets/images/image.gif")]

// Scale 9 - works for all image types
[Embed(source="/../assets/images/slice_9_grid.gif", 
                scaleGridTop="25", scaleGridBottom="125", 
                scaleGridLeft="25", scaleGridRight="125")]

// SVG 
[Embed(source="/../assets/svg/drawing.svg")]

// SWF
[Embed(source = "/../assets/Asset.swf", symbol = "videoSymbol1")] 
[Embed(source = "/../assets/Asset.swf)] 

// MP3
[Embed(source="/../assets/audio/song.mp3")]

// Any other file can be embedded as application/octet-stream
// As long as you can read it (from a ByteArray) Usually you will be able
// to port a format reading routine from C or other source.
[Embed(source="/../assets/any/anyfileformat.ext",mimeType="application/octet-stream")]

// XML is a special edge case, use text/xml e.g.

[Embed(source="/../xml/test.xml", mimeType="text/xml")]
private var EmbedXml:Class;
//... elsewhere in method code:
var xml:XML = new XML(new EmbedXML());
