		<title>Robotlegs, AS3-Signals and the SignalCommandMap Example</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Robotlegs and AS3-Signals play really well together. Both apply solid object-oriented principles to accomplish their respective goals. Signals is extremely well suited for automated Dependency Injection. By combining Signals and Robotlegs you are able to eliminate the use of Flash Events in the framework layer of your application. Eliminating Events means eliminating the ambiguity that [...]

		<title>Robotlegs Image Gallery Example using AS3-Signals and the Presentation Model</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jason Crist posted a thought provoking request for his upcoming presentation comparing Robotlegs and Swiz. He&#8217;s got a clever knack for stirring the framework ant pile and getting developers eyes off their IDEs long enough to discuss their passions. In this case the developers include Ben Clinkinbeard, Shaun Smith, Jesse Warden and myself.
These conversations are [...]

		<title>Continuous Scrolling Thumbnail Component for Flex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post continues to be the most popular on this space after a year and a half. I&#8217;ve never been particularly fond of the implmenetation. Tightly coupled to very specific data sets and not really anything like a Flex component. It is setup more like an application (because it was pulled out of an application [...]

		<title>Robotlegs MVCS: Walkthrough of an AIR Twitter Client</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here is the &#8220;completed&#8221; project on Github.
This is a roughly 25 minute walkthrough of wiring together a Twitter client using the Robotlegs AS3 Micro-Architecture MVCS implementation. It covers setting up the context, using commands, mediating composite view component, granular view component mediation, and retrieving data from a service.
Apologies in advance for the ambient noise. 4 [...]

		<title>SlideshowPro Director via AMFPHP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really like SlideshowPro Director. With version 1.0.9.9 and below, you could simply access it as an XML service. This was great. Very fast. Past that they reworked the application and introduced an API. This is probably a good move for many, but the API is geared towards PHP websites that want to utilize SSP [...]

		<title>Unit Testing: IoC/DI, Robotlegs and FlexUnit 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reviewing the various IoC containers available for Flex/Actionscript. One of the benefits of IoC and DI is that it greatly facilitates unit testing. By injecting our dependencies into our applications actors, we are effectively isolating them from the other classes that make the application function. &#8220;So what?&#8221;
In computer programming, unit testing is a [...]

		<title>Robotlegs AS3: A Dependency Injection Driven MVCS Framework for Flash/Flex – Inspired by PureMVC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[robotlegs.org
robotlegs best practices 
The quest for a Dependency Injection container continues. The most recent stop on this exploration of the available options has been Robotlegs. Robotlegs AS3 is a DI driven MVCS framework for Flash/Flex inspired by PureMVC. Being a huge fan of PureMVC, this caught my attention immediately. Robotlegs professes to be a framework [...]
