Flex Support

Reccomend making the name attribute on the BulkLoader function in the 
BulkLoader class an optional attribute. This will allow the class to be 
created via MXML in Flex.

name : String = "oMainBulkLoader"

public function BulkLoader(name : String = "oMainBulkLoader", 
numConnections : int = BulkLoader.DEFAULT_NUM_CONNECTIONS, logLevel : int 
= BulkLoader.DEFAULT_LOG_LEVEL){

I understand the use case, but this solution won't work. BulkLoader has  a 
registry 
pattern of sorts where all intances are accessible through a static look up, 
using the 
name as a key (BulkLoader.getLoader("photo-gallery"). This makes it a 
requirement 
that each instance's name be unique. Therefore, hardcoding a default name will 
break once you intantiate a second instance.

I am in favor of null constructors too (helps a few other pain points as well), 
so I 
rather find a solution that answers both needs.

Regards

The solution mentioned above might not be ideal but it does allow a single 
instance 
of the control to be created in the flex environment. It additionally allows 
the 
user to create component instances with custom names using actionscript.

I have been playing with the code in flex and it works great with this method 
as 
long as you use a single instance of the component.

Yes, but we cannot require users to use only one instance of BulkLoader.

Either it works with n  instances, or it doesn't.

Hi Blake,

Just checked in revision 310, which should do it. Now the 'name' parameter is 
optional, 
if passed null, bulkloader will generate a unique one for you.

Cheers
