Actually, my project was almost structured like an ARP project but I
needed some "guidelines" because the project tends to grow in several
directions at the same time :-) In other words, I need more
"discipline"! LOL
My flash clients display real time incoming data. AFAIK, flash remoting
(I mean OpenAMF, not Flex Data Services) doesn't provide server push...
The realtime data is in fact filtered & parsed on my project server and
relayed to the appropriate flash clients thanks to the socket server.
I agree that there are probably other ways to design the application,
but well, my chief had to choose for one.

Julien

That's good. The issue I have with Flash (at least I used to) was knowing
where all my coding was. Because of the way Flash is structured, many
developers tend to stuff AS into MovieClips instead of keeping a series of root
clips / classes. Using ARPX, I can create completely reusable custom controls,
while feeding all core functionality back through to the base class using
events. It really does make for much cleaner code and makes management of the
application far simpler.
I'm surprised, though, by your usage of an XML Socket server. Do you have a
need for persistent data that session handling won't provide? You should look
at OpenAMF for Java remoting. It's what many of the other remoting frameworks
were developed against.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Using ARP without Forms?
hey that's cool :-) I don't know much about .NET Fluorine because my
company is more java-oriented.
I am developping the flash client from scratch (well no MM components,
but intensive use of several frameworks) with the flash IDE (just for
fonts and assets such as basic objects/tweens), and eclipse/FDT + MTASC
(-keep power!)
For the socket communication, I use the Offbeat server (Oregano would
have done the job as well) but just as a "proxy" between clients and the
server, which is a custom j2ee webapp...
I don't know about the number of lines I wrote, but as the project
grows, I think it needs more structure and flexibility (especially when
it comes to event management) so that's why I was looking to ARP...

Julien

What a coinsidence. That happens to be my main app, using Flash and .NET. I
was using XML transfers, though I quickly switched to Fluorine once I realised
the possibilities. The Flash side of my application uses ARPX and is around
6000 lines of ActionScript now. I use FlashDevelop, so the actual asset side
is very very minimal. I find ARPX provides me with a great solid framework
that reflects well in the .NET side of my applications. What are you using for
the XML Sockets? Did you develop your own system or are you using something
like Oregano?

Lee

Thanks Lee,
I've found Grant's post about his ARPX extension and that seems pretty
nice indeed ;-) I'm going to try it!
By the way, my project is an intranet kiosk app that will only
communicate via xml sockets instead of remoting or web services, do you
think it will be easy to adapt this to ARP/X design ?

A form in the ARP context is typically just a MovieClip extended class.
If your application uses MovieClips as container objects, then ARP is
fine as it is. If, however, you don't want to use MovieClips as your
base object, you can still make use of things like System events and the
like. At least, that's if they're in the base ARP package. I use the
ARPX extended version written by Grant Davies. Top bloke! :-)

Subject: [Flashcoders] Using ARP without Forms?
Hi ARP developers,
I was wondering if it was easy to use ARP in a non-form flash
application... After reading ARP documentation, it seems to be
well-suited for form-enabled flash apps, but what about the applications
completely created from scratch with MTASC for example?
What do you use in replacement of Forms? Custom components/movieclips?
Can someone provide a short example or some guidelines?
Thanks,
Julien
