I have built custom components for Flex and find the component lifecycle very
useful for managing display rendering.
Now I am starting to work with AS3 only components and would like to know of
any strategies for managing my components lifecycle in a similar fashion since
I dont have the Flex framework.
It seems that creating a similar lifecycle framework would hinge on the
ENTER_FRAME event triggering an evaluation of component properties and if they
have changed clearing the graphics, redrawing the pertinent areas,
adding/removing listeners, etc..
Does anyone have any documents or pointers on how to approach this? Perhaps
someone has done this before since I think it was the only way of doing it in
AS2 (which I have no experience in)
Thank you,
Sean
