[Flashcoders] RE: one class listening for another classes dispatched event

2009-11-19 Thread Brett Artrahn
Wanted to add my input to this one. 

Firstly, I agree tight coupling is not good practice in regards to architecting 
an application. However, where event mechanics are concerned, it's impact can 
be slightly negated by using weak listeners - which are good practice in 
general.

Secondly, I haven't thought this through, but I'm throwing it out there anyway. 
Maybe a static EventManager class somewhere in your root/main application 
class, that uses custom events could be worth investigation. Actually, I'm all 
over this at the moment, as finding a generic solution for an application's 
event mechanics is the piece of the puzzle I'm currently up to. 

Stephen.

[Flashcoders] RE: Who uses Adobe Flex

2009-11-19 Thread Brett Artrahn
I'm currently using Flash Builder 4 Beta 2 and I'm happy with it. Once you get 
your head around using SWC libs, modifying compiler settings, template files, 
modules, the advanced debugging, profiling, etc (all of which I'm loving and 
still learning) you can take an advanced look at developing sophisticated 
applications, but still with the flash 'coolness' factor.   

Looking forward to soon phasing out the confusion around what 'Flex' is. Just 
onwards and upwards with the Adobe Flash Platform - and the future is looking 
good.

[Flashcoders] RE: Inheritance and Static properties

2009-10-23 Thread Brett Artrahn
Helmut, Grant Skinner link below might help you with your event framework.

And you can access public static constants anywhere in your application as long 
as you import the class? Are you saying this is not true?
