XMLDecoder uses this class to map an XML Schema type by QName to an ActionScript Class so that it can create strongly typed objects when decoding content. If the type is unqualified the QName uri may be left null or set to the empty String.

It is important to note that the desired Class must be linked into the SWF and possess a default constructor in order for the XMLDecoder to create a new instance of the type, otherwise an anonymous Object will be used to hold the decoded properties.

Class — Returns the Class for the collection type represented by the given Qname or String.

getInstance

()

method

public static function getInstance():mx.rpc.xml:SchemaTypeRegistry

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns the sole instance of this singleton class, creating it if it does not already exist.

registerClass

()

method

public function registerClass(type:Object, definition:Object):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:
