This is good work, I was thinking of something along those lines for awhile but decided it would be too much trouble. I think to qualify as a general prupose framework that would be useful to everyone your XML structure you should follow some sort of standard, so everyone can jump right in. Using XUL or XFORMS would open up a lot of opportunities for your project I think.

Hi Everyone, I have embedded an HTML like interpreter
in Flash. This if part of my Actionscript Markup
Language Framework. Its like laszlo and flex, its also
rich client because it uses mx 2004 components but it
is never compiled. Try out the sample I have
http://203.87.133.15:8080/rvillaver/aml.zip , this is
a part of the whole aml framework I use in my company.
Im just a bit busy right now, but I would setup this
up with you guys as an opensource framework for flash.

Here's how it works, the FormManager can read an xml
file and treat it as containers and components. Layout
is governed by a On-Render Layout Cell system. This is
where  a layout first declares how many rows and cols
it has. The layout system will then alocate that many
virtual cells in that container. Each cell has a
default width of 100px and height of 32px. That can be
changed by adding a layout="rowHeight:50;col1:2..."
property to the layout component. Each component <com>
by default occupys width="1" height="1" cells. But can
be assigned with more. Components are rendered left to
right in each set.  Each <set> monitors the highest
component height and uses that as the height of the
set. Components of the next set will be placed after
the that.

<win> is a container key properties is "rows" and
"cols". Declares size of the window plus defines the
layout grid.

Hi Ronald,

this sounds great. A small introduction to the
framework and an example would be helpful.

Its nice to see that theres an organization now
that
handles Flash opensource. I have an framework I
would
like to opensource. My group is a team of java
developers, we wanted to have rich client
capabilites
on the web, so started my quest with flash early
2000.
Now I have a framework which pretty much
simplifies my
training and development(Best record so far is a
Payroll system in 3 weeks with just 4 junior
developers). When I did the framework, I was
thinking
that I want beginners to understand the framework
easily. I am not experienced in managing
opensource
projects, if you guys could help me, I am more
than
willing to share all I know.
Now the framework, I have a FormManager that can
render AS2 components dynamically, it has an
extension
where it can read a html like XML to get the
design of
its layout, using method routing, a small
standardization on how to make FormAction classes.
It
has inplace a good number of tools to easily
communicate to its OpenAMF backend. The additional
feature is a simplified persistence layer in the
backend that gives the developer intuitive control
of
its Database Models in actionscript. Another
additional feature is being able to code Java in
XML(nothing fancy just BSH and other scripting
tools)
But with this Flash again can easily call business
logics with intuitive as2 classes. The server
seldom
needs restart or recompile, only when you add a
framework feature, but if its data models,
business
logic, only trigger the reloadMapping.jsp to
refresh
the whole application logic. The goal of the
project
is to have the developers concentrate on Flash
relaying to the user the business system. Sorry
for
the blabbering, but like I said earlier, I have no
idea how to start. So when I saw you guys in
google, I
quickly added myself in your mailing list. If
someone
could even manage the project, it would help me
out
too.
