OOP and Flash is indeed tricky to fully grasp. It has become easier and more natural to implement OOP techniques on AS3 though.

I'll tell you a little secret about OOP. Don't sweat it. Sometimes the model jumps out at you but other times you have to find it. How to find it? Write something that does what you want. Then refactor it once you have a better idea of how it works. The more you do that the more certain patterns and approaches crystalise for you. I think there's too much over-engineering going on in general as some people seem to think implementing all the latest patterns on even the smallest project makes them good developers. I've been guilty of it myself a couple of times, writing frameworks where a couply of focused classes would have sufficed. OOP should be fun if you do it right and don't sweat it when it turns into a dick swinging contest, just make up pattern names. I quite like the Absolver pattern ;p cheers ~neo -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ricardo Sánchez Sent: 23 August 2006 06:34 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] OOP methodology and flash. I'm loosing my faith... ... well, not really but I thought it was good as I title I always use OOP for my flash projects but, even if I find it easier than timeline coding, I dont know if I'm taking all the advantage of OOP. I'm not even sure if I am aplying the correct patterns for every problem. My insecurity probably has to do with the lack of normal work OOP flash examples. For example the typicall top menu/content web. How can OOP be applied to that? I guess I find a gap in the theory of knowing how to link the symbols, movieclips, timeline and graphics in flash with the code in external files. Am I opening a can of worms?
