Humorous that you say PureMVC ( 21 classes )is on the heavy side, instead suggesting Nimbus ( 24 classes ) as an alternative. -=Cliff --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Aaron Hardy aaronius...@... wrote: I'd consider those still being on the heavy side. One we use is called Nimbus and can

PS, PureMVC is only 21 classes because there are 11 interfaces, corresponding to their implementations. There are only 11 actual classes in PureMVC. Get back to me when you get your scales fixed :) -=Cliff --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Cliff Hall cl...@... wrote: Humorous that you say

Hey, lay off your punches. I'm talking about the amount of time/code it takes to implement, not the number of classes inside the library. P.S. I'm not sure where you're getting 24 classes for Nimbus anyway. I'm counting 12 (the four files in the utils directory aren't classes.) Get back to me

Flex is a UI framework; I'd hardly consider it the answer to every one of your programming needs. I suspect that the original poster was looking for MVC alternatives. PureMVC ( http://puremvc.org/ ) and Mate ( http://mate.asfusion.com/ ) seem to be the most popular alternatives in terms of

I'd consider those still being on the heavy side. One we use is called Nimbus and can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/nimbus-as3/ Don't use the available swc since it hasn't been updated in a while. Nimbus is similar to Cairngorm but lighter and cuts out a lot of the plumbing. It

You can download the source a build a new swc. By the way, I got your email to my personal address. Unfortunately there currently aren't any public project samples using Nimbus. They'll come as time and priority permit. Good luck! Aaron Dnk wrote: Which swc to use then ? If one was to
