I've done a project with arp and even though I learned a lot from it, I've also found arp to be somewhat limited and unflexible. I've started using pixlib for a few months now and I can say that it is one of the most well designed and pattern-based AS2 frameworks I've ever seen. It goes far beyond ARP, no doubt :) so, in my opinion, in the ARP vs PIXLIB battle, pixlib wins easily ;)

ihavent tried pixlib yet, but as for ARP, you'll get more "mvc" with a few extensions to the original arp package. There a few different versions of a ModelLocator out there (the official ARP release doesn't have a model implementation -- the commands queried a view for information to be passed to the server, then returned some information back to the view), and there's also the extensions found here: http://theresidentalien.typepad.com/ginormous/2005/10/extending_arp.html On 11/6/06, Francis Bourre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hello ! > > pixlib isn't targeted on games devt for a while, maybe till the beginning. > It's got an architectural framework inside too (mvc, frontcontroller, > hashcode factory, moviecliphelper, modellocator ...) + lot of features > (collections, xml, flv, sound, preloading, remoting package with no mx > dependencies ...). > > try it for the fun! ;) > > francis > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jamie S" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 4:09 PM > Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Framework ARP vs PixLib > > > >I have been using the ARP Framework for a while and I can recommend it > > highly.
