I am having some trouble understanding working with XLM namespaces in AS3. I need to output a programs data in OpenDocument text format (.odt) for editing by word processing programs.
The root declaration of an .odt document declares a set of namespaces some of which I have shown below. The XML below is a short section representative of the output I need to construct and save. And to use in illustration for my question.
As I understand it the namespace when declared in the root element can be used by any decendent element. However my attempts to work with the namespace in AS3 keep producing a "Error #1083: The prefix "office" for element "office:font-face-decls" is not bound."
So my question is how do I add elements dynamically to the XML without generating the error. My attempts to date have only been successful when I add the xmls declaration to the decendent node e.g.
<style:style xmlns:style="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:style:1.0" style:name="Table1" style:family="table">
instead of
<style:style style:name="Table1" style:family="table">
Example XML for .odt
<office:document-content office:version="1.1" xmlns:office="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0" xmlns:style="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:style:1.0" xmlns:text="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:text:1.0" xmlns:svg="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:svg-compatible:1.0" xmlns:table="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:table:1.0"> <office:font-face-decls> <style:font-face style:name="Tahoma1" svg:font-family="Tahoma"/> </office:font-face-decls> <office:automatic-styles> <style:style style:name="Table1" style:family="table"> <style:table-properties style:width="16.999cm" table:align="margins"/> </style:style> </office:automatic-styles> <office:body> <office:text> <text:sequence-decls> <text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Table"/> </text:sequence-decls> <table:table table:name="Table1" table:style-name="Table1"> <table:table-column table:style-name="Table1.A"/> <table:table-column table:style-name="Table1.B" table:number-columns-repeated="2"/> <table:table-column table:style-name="Table1.D"/> <table:table-row> <table:table-cell table:style-name="Table1.A1" office:value-type="string"> <text:p text:style-name="Table_20_Contents">Client</text:p> </table:table-cell> <table:table-cell table:style-name="Table1.B1" table:number-columns-spanned="3" office:value-type="string"> <text:p text:style-name="Table_20_Contents"/> </table:table-cell> <table:covered-table-cell/> <table:covered-table-cell/> </table:table-row> </table:table> </office:text> </office:body></office:document-content>
