>From a background standpoint, ARP was created originally for Flash. Cairngorm was originally created for JSP developers coming to Flex.
ARP, the current publicly available build, is mostly created around ActionScript base classes. Cairngorm is around both ActionScript and MXML. I've found success with ARP in Flash and Flex, although, almost everyone I know utilizes Cairngorm in Flex. In fact, my last project was using ARP in Flex, but now I'm using Cairngorm since it's bigger in scope and the rest of the team utilizes it. Both have a lot in common (ServiceLocators, ModelLocators [I added to my build of ARP], Commands, Business Delegates, and some concept of a Controller/Application). Cairngorm takes it a step farther with optional usage of ViewHelpers and ViewLocators. I don't really like the concept of ViewHelpers, but I can see the rare need for a ViewLocator. I hear in larger scoped projects, Cairngorm's concepts have more value. Since most of mine have been 4 to 6 month timeframes with 1 to 2 developers, they aren't really considered huge. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Weyert de Boer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 5:32 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] ARP or Cairngorm What's the best framework to use when you want to be able to make flash application 1-2-3 in Flash or Flex with practically the same way. Of course, you have MXML in Flex. Because I want to move more to a MVC approach in Flash, I am asking myself which framework I should use. Anyone any suggestions? I have mainly experience with patterns in Delphi, C# and PHP5 etc. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
