Comment on An Introduction to Robotlegs AS3 Part 3: Services by Mutasem Barjawi

In these tutorials, you used the following two methods for listening for events:

addViewListener
addContextListener

I was wondering whats the difference between those and the one used in your TwitterClient screencast:
eventMap.mapListener

Thanks

I think you shouldn’t move the creation of new Tweet objects outside the loop… otherwise, you’ll end up inserting the same object into all the Array cells… which means the same tweet will be repeated in the list.

Of course there is.
You could create a “component” combining some buttons and elements that are used together, that dispatch certain events or offer a certain API for a Mediator.

Or you could handle it with a different structure: have a look at “Presentation Patterns” as e.g. described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/paulw/archives/2007/09/presentation_pa.html

But you should be aware that, what I know of, robotloegs only brings MVCS as a “reference implementation” with it, which doesn’t support e.g. “Presentation Model” as easy.

Hoping that answers your question,

Thank you so much for this useful screencast.

I see that you create a view/mediator for everything… things as small as buttons… when working on a large scale project, a single view could have tens of these small view/mediators. Is there a different way of handling these things?

Thanks

Nice book! Do you have a tutorial about separating view-logic from the mediator. I saw it in the book and want to try it out, but I really don’t know were to start :X.

Comment on An Introduction to Robotlegs AS3 Part 1: Context and Mediators by Anna

I don’t know if I understand correctly, but this is what I want: if I want to inject the MessageView in my mediator like this: [Injector]private var myMessageView:MessageView; .

I see it is possible like that, but are their some drawbacks??

Injections occur externally. The Injector has no access to private member variables. I know some folks that have done interesting byte code manipulations to make it possible, but with RL, that isn’t the case.
