MXML
In MXML metadata tags are declared within a <mx:Metadata> element or within <mx:Script> (e.g. for Bindable properties).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical"> <mx:Metadata> [Event("change")] [Event("anotherEvent")] </mx:Metadata> ... </mx:Application>
ActionScript
In ActionScript metadata tags are declared before the class declaration.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> package some.package { // declare metadata tags outside of the class [Event("change")] [Event("anotherEvent")] public class SomeClass { ... } }
