The package definition is divided into two broad sections: <controllers> and <assets>. The <controllers> section contains entries for each AssetPlacement component used in the statement: each PromoImage, PromoImageSlideShow, AttachmentLoader, etc. that is added to the statement will have a <controller> entry automatically added to the package definition file by the Interactive Document Plugin. The <controller> entries are meant to be used later in the statement development cycle, to help choose appropriate advertising content to place in each component.
The <assets> section is used at runtime. Each AssetPlacement component will attempt to load
assets at runtime. A component looks up the <resource> or <attachment> entry with the matching
controller attribute to the components' id attribute and if a match is found
attempts to load the source specified.
It is possible to access the various assets of the package definition by calling the
appropriate methods; assets are divided into two types: attachments and resources. Attachments are
assets that are part of the PDF Navigator and must be accessed through Navigator APIs. Resources
are content that can be loaded directly such as images and SWFs. Generally, an asset is recovered
through its controller id. The controller id is the key that connects a Flex component (such
as a PromoImage) to a resource in the package definition. The component's id
property is the lookup key. Note that many assets may be returned for one ID lookup.
This class is a singleton. Calls to the constructor will result in an exception being thrown. In order to use this class, use the PackageDefinitionLoader class.

| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Player 10 |
A convenience method that searches through the attachments and returns a list
containing only the attachments that match the given id.
The id is usually the id property of a component such
as a PromoImage. The key it is looking up corresponds to the controller
attribute on the <attachment>'s parent <attachments> node.
Parameters
id:String — The id of a component, such as a PromoImage.
|
IList — A list of Attachment objects who's controller ID match the given id.

A convenience method that searches through the contollers and returns the
controller with the matching id and XML namespace.
Parameters
id:String — The id of a controller. This id should match an MXML id in the project as
well as a controller id in the <assets> section of the package definition.
| |
ns:String (default = null)XML namespace of a controller. If null the first controller with the matching the id will be returned.
