Hi All,
I've been spinning in circles trying to implement a modular dynamic
loading architecture for our client app. I've been studying this
thread and a few others and I think it's starting to sink in but I'm
not there yet. I've tried a very simple sample with a Shell that
dynamically loads a
Hi,1.- I'm using SWFLoader instead of Loader since it's more usable when you want to load Applications and interact with the Apps loaded.2.- The Debug problem was discused on the list. When FB2 extracts the SWC it does with -debug=false, this could be fixed if FB2 let developers to configure
Hey Vito,
I would suggest creating Module 4 as a seperate Flex Project, which
you can create an SWF from. Have you shell application use the
SWFLoader to load the Module4.swf instead of adding Module4.swc as an
RSL. This will make the module development easier (since you can
compile,run and test
Derrick,
That got me on the correct path. I now have a working sample where
the Shell application loads the Module app using the SWFLoader
control. Communication between the module and the shell is done
through a shared RSL.
Next step is to work Cairnhorm and DataServices into the sample.
Thanks for your comments Igor, as much as I would like to go to
Vegas it just a little too far away. :)
Unfortualtely waiting a month to see the results of the discussion
at MAX is just a little too far away also, If anyone could
expand/explain Erics orignial comment I would be really thanks
Hi Even,
Your response seem to be the way forward for this problem. Can I
trouble you expand on your writing here? To add some more detail about
how to complete what you have decribed here? I understand the concepts
involved and how to create SWC files, but I am still quite lost on the

Hi Carlos,
Actually the application I am developing (the one that started this
thread) is built on Cairngorm.
In order to give the seperate modules access to Cairngorm and core
application classes (ie models, commands) I have put our core
application classes and the Cairngorm classes and in an
Hi Paul,
That is exactly my concern. I haven't been able to test the RSL
caching thoroughly but experience tells me it will happen. I was
hoping that I could somehow modify the url that the RSL uses but I
have not found a way to do that. I am starting to think that what may
be required is a

Hi Derrick,
From the quick test I did, it /is/ an issue. I too looked into
modifying the URL. I was going to use ANT to automate it all,
incrementing versions, and changing URLs but I've since abandoned that

Paul,
Could you please clarify your question - it seems that there are number of issues that are mixed up here. First, there is no issue of RSL caching in the browser unless you specifically enable some expiration scheme.

Certainly. The caching issue I'm
Paul,
Certainly. The caching issue I'm referring to is when a new RSL SWF is published and pushed to a server the end user may not immediately see the new SWF. Or, more accurately the users browser may load the old
version of the SWF from the browser cache and not the more recent from the
Hi to all,I was following this thread with interest since there is very useful info.One thing that you are not talking about at the moment is about Modular Cairngorm Apps. Cairngorm is a great framework for monolithic flex apps, but if you try to modularize it you don't have the necesary

Hi.
I don't see the reason to create abstract base classes for all value
objects, models etc. Can you explain one more time?
Can you also describe how you create modules (flex app|flex library)
and how you load them (in main|separate|child app domain)?
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com,
The reason for creating the abstract base classes and placing them in
an RSL is so the modules (seperate swfs) can be developed and compiled
with strict data typing to particular value objects and models that
are retrieved from the ModelLocator which exists in the main shell
application.

the way we handle this is as follows:
We have one library swc that holds our code base. We have an application file that contains all basic application code. This application is compiled with the option -link-report=linkreport.xml. All separate modules are compiled with the option

Your post concentrates around answers onHOW to use interfaces and abstract classes to make large applications. I believe there is another questionthat we sometimes forget to ask.
WHY?The main reason for interfaces uses is to allow multiple implementations. Abstract classes are also
Question.
In your library project will you also have abstract class of the
events you will dispatch to cairngorm? Will each module have its
own controller, or will they all share one in the main application.
Thanks

Thanks for the info. Your solution of having all the base code in an
external library is where I started out, but I wasn't entirely
comfortable having all the core code in an RSL (I don't exactly
remember why that bothered me so much now). It certainly makes
maintenance and development alot
Yes, the library will have the events to be dispatched to cairngorm,
due to the fact that the modules can interoperate with other parts
of the application, so each module needs access to other module's
events. I'm intending to have the modules use the main application
controller in order to

Great, then we are on the same page. I was concerned about automatic application of technologies that worked on other platforms like Java to Flex - with completely different code compilation and deployment model.
