RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm starter question

[Dimitrios Gianninas]

Hi,   First, no need to use Cairngorm for such a simple thing as playing a video. You should use cairngorm for such gestures as "create account", "edit account", "search accounts", etc... Don't know exactly what to call these, they are complex events that will affect many things (data and views).   Second, i've used fileReference in one app, but I didn't make it part of the ServiceLocator. Should be seperate as I see it.   Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Optimal Payments Inc.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Benjamin Dobler Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 3:48 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Cairngorm starter question O.k. this could become stupid... I`m I the process of learning the cairngorm framework. As a "traditional" flash developer there are some things that are hard to understand. I think I understood the general flow of the cairngorm architecture and I successfully implemented it in a project i`m working on. So far I have user clicks -> Event generated -> FrontController maps to Command -> Business Delegate calls ServiceLocator and updates Model -> Model updates view via Bindings. Now that after hard lessons that I understood this i`m totally confused when it comes to normal user gestures. For example when a user clicks the play Button of a video player do I have to go all this way to actually play the video? Another question is with the ServiceLocator. I understand how to use it with webservices or Remoting calls but what is if I have a custom class of a framework that handles things different (e.g. YouTubeService from the lab libraries). Can I write a Wrapper for these so that they work like e.g. <mx:RemoteObject>. Or if I use the fileReference to get a file. How do I make these things fit with the ServiceLocator? You see i`m a bit confused but it`s fun. Thanx for any help.
