I understand what you mean in regards to design patterns, and have used MVC and MVP patterns before in other projects.
I also have a very good understanding of the inner workings of the Tree component, but am looking for something more "experimental". The yugop tree is a good example of something I'd be interested in seeing. I already have this "bounce" style tree menu's source from a different party, but it seems bulky and the implementation isn't clean enough. Basically I'm trying to re-think how data can be viewed intelligently, but artistically. I assume I'm not the first... =] Cheers and thanks for suggesting the ARP framework. I'd heard about it, but maybe it's time I play around for a bit... !k -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of elibol Sent: January 31, 2006 3:19 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] XML Data visualization I see what you mean, but it seems like the the examples you've given utilize a Model View Controller ( commonly referred to as MVC ) design pattern. This pattern is designed for different views of the same data model, however, it can be used in many different applications. The MVC pattern is built on other other design patterns, I would suggest learning these first. I would also recommend checking out the ARP Framework<http://osflash.org/arp>, which is a framework designed to streamline and facilitate pattern implementation. As for your request for an example that renders XML type data, the version 2.0 Tree component that comes in Flash MX Professional 2004 ( and later versions ) would suit well. This type of view best represents heirarchical data models in my opinion. The source code can be viewed where Flash is installed, relatively: en\First Run\Classes\mx\controls\Tree.as I hope this helps, M.
