[flexcoders] Flex 2, organizing innumerous States

[Michel Scoz]

Hello there!   I'm creating a site administrator application, with too manys inputs, classes, views, so on...   The MXML code is too large and its getting very complicated to find/search through the code to edit/add States. Is there any way to stop using states to switch views, and/or create a new file for new States? Or maybe an easier way to organize them without having to write all states in one file?   Here's what I have now...   -------------------  <mx:states>   <mx:State name="home">    <mx:AddChild position="lastChild">     <mx:Panel y="100" width="730" height="600" layout="absolute" title="Área de Manutenção" horizontalCenter="-5" id="painelHome">      <mx:Panel y="10" width="165" height="225" layout="absolute" title="Dicas da Vovó Lydia" x="10">       <mx:Image y="10" source="images/manut/lampada.png" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="66" label="Adicionar" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0" click="currentState = 'dicas_adicionar';"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="96" label="Editar" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="126" label="Estatísticas" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>      </mx:Panel>      <mx:Panel y="10" width="165" height="225" layout="absolute" title="Concurso de Receitas" x="185">       <mx:Image y="10" source="images/manut/caixapapeis.png" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="66" label="Aprovar" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="96" label="Editar" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="126" label="Estatísticas" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>      </mx:Panel>      <mx:Panel y="250" width="165" height="225" layout="absolute" title="Livro de Receitas" x="185">       <mx:Image y="10" source="images/manut/livroaberto.png" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="66" label="Adicionar" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="96" label="Editar" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="156" label="LinkButton" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="126" label="Estatísticas" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>      </mx:Panel>      <mx:Panel y="10" width="165" height="225" layout="absolute" title="Viva Melhor" x="535">       <mx:Image y="10" source="images/manut/pessoabrilho.png" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="66" label="Adicionar" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="96" label="Editar" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="126" label="Estatísticas" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>      </mx:Panel>      <mx:Panel y="250" width="165" height="225" layout="absolute" title="Chamadas" x="10">       <mx:Image y="10" source="images/manut/speaker.png" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="66" label="Página Inicial" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="96" label="Viva Melhor" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="126" label="Livro de Receitas" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="156" label="Receitas do Concurso" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>      </mx:Panel>      <mx:Panel y="10" width="165" height="225" layout="absolute" title="ABC dos Alimentos" x="360">       <mx:Image y="10" source="images/manut/potelupa.png" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="66" label="Adicionar" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="96" label="Editar" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>       <mx:LinkButton y="126" label="Estatísticas" width="100%" horizontalCenter="0"/>      </mx:Panel>     </mx:Panel>    </mx:AddChild>   </mx:State> -------------------     You see? This is just for the States... then there is the scripts, styles, transitions and everything else. Its gonna get massive!!   I could create various mxml and switch between them with "getURL", but this way dont sounds good as it will refresh the page loading another. There is any other way?   Thank you in advance, Michel.     __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
