RE: [flexcoders] Theory and Practice: Mixing AS2.0 in MXML

[Robert Brueckmann]

“I see,” said the blind man…thanks Erik!  This whole technology, even after a few months of working with it, is still something so completely new to what I’m used to and I guess I was having trouble seeing the MXML file as an AS class in and of itself…thanks for the concise yet extremely helpful answer!  I get it now.  J   Robert L.

Then instead of using the mxml i use the AS subclass. If the class is empty, things just work like they did before. But inside the AS class u have the usual callBacks (createChildren, init, etc) and a constructor.   Via code u can add listeners to the UI components and manage everything from within the AS class.   Greetz Erik       From:Robert Brueckmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: donderdag 3 maart 200515:14 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Theory and Practice: Mixing AS2.0 in MXML Can I ask how you manage an MXML without any ActionScript at all?  How in a file that has components with clickor change listeners would you not have any supporting ActionScript code…I mean just about every single one of my MXML files has initialize or creationComplete listeners in the parent container tag with dozens of other components that are dependent on dataproviders changing and user interactions like clicking or dragging and dropping and I can’t begin to imagine how I could extract every bit of ActionScript from my MXML files into individual ActionScript classes…maybe I’m not grasping the Cairgorm design architecture fully…I thought I had a pretty good grasp on it but to hear that you’re writing MXML files with no ActionScript in them whatsoever kind of baffles me…can you give me an example?
