I usually don't put remoting calls in my MXML. I'd set up an MVC to handle the remote calls and bubble the results back up to your component. This way you could use the same architecture for other components.
Defining callbacks in your MXML component's attributes: <britton:MyManager someEvent="this.someHandler" /> Optionally (as seen above) you could create a Manager that would talk to your Controller of choice. This would be the class that sends events back to your component. If it gets more complicated than this, I'd use Cairngorm. Sorry about the brevity of this explanation, but right now I'm trying to make Cake PHP and Flex play together :-) hth, Mike On 3/14/07, Clarke Bishop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
In my main application, I've got an Accordion that contains three custom components. At least two of the components need to talk back to the server. The function of each component is totally independent -- They will be doing different things and calling different web services. Here's my question: Is it bad form or a bad idea to embed the web services or remoting code in the components? I know, Cairngorm fixes this, but my app is too simple to deal with all the Cairngorm overhead. I'm still struggling with thinking about how to encapsulate functionality cleanly in Flex, so any pointers are much appreciated!
