This tag defines a media object, that can be presented within a view. A media object is an image, movie, animation, or sound clip. This tag imports the object into the application, and binds it to a string which can be used within a view. For example:
<canvas
height
="70
">
<resource
name
="logo
" src
="../images/logo.png
"/>
<view
resource
="logo
"/>
</canvas
>
The src
attribute refers to the filename of any valid resource type, including an optional directory path relative to the directory
of the declaration. Valid resource types for images and animations include: .SWF, .PNG, .JPG, and .GIF; valid audio types
include: .MP3.
The offsetx
and offsety
attributes (SWF10 only) allow you to specify an offset of a bitmap resource used for a custom cursor,
so that the mouse will align with the proper 'hotspot' in the cursor image.
Example: set a custom crosshair cursor from a bitmap resource, with an offset of (-8,-8)
<resource name="crosshair" src="cursor_crosshair.png" offsetx="-8" offsety="-8" /> <view height="40" bgcolor="#cccccc" width="100" cursor="crosshair" />
Audio resources must be MP3 files at one of the following sample rates: 11.025 khz, 22.5 khz, and 44.1 khz, and encoded at no more than 160kbps.
The dataimage example
further demonstrates the use of the resource
tag.
