As I perused the great sample app Jesse put together (http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2006/07/flex_2_webservice.html), I came across his simultaneous implementation and criticism of state vars inside ModelLocator.
// only do this if you have a 4 hour deadline; // some people think state vars are good. I think // they are evil... but man, they sure work in a pinch. public static const STATE_READY:String = "ready"; public static const STATE_SEARCHING:String = "searching"; public static const STATE_DONE:String = "done"; I need to implement something similar in my app as basically the whole thing resides inside a TabNavigator. I would like a simple, reliable way to direct the app to change states/tabs and this seems like a decent approach. What are people's opinions on this approach? Have a better alternative? Jesse, can you expound on why you think they're evil? Thanks, Ben ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> See what's inside the new Yahoo!
