Actionscript 3 :: Model View Controller - Where To Keep Simple Logic
Mar 18, 2011
I often see very different implementations of the Model View Controller Pattern, and completely understand that you should adapt and use what fits your needs the best, but I was wondering what would be the advantages/disadvantages/best practice of keeping simple game logic in ether the controller or model? In essence which is the correct way I should be doing this? for this simple example the player receives damage and I have listed three possible ways of dealing with it:

I'm currently using RobotLegs with the Presentation Model pattern to develop a Flex 4 project. I understand that all business logic related to a View resides in the Presentation Model associated with that view, however, I am confused when it comes to View specific logic.For example, I have an indicator that needs to be positioned relatively to list items depending on which list item is selected. Is it acceptable in the Presentation pattern to put the logic that will position the indicator in the View and simply have that logic run in reaction to a selectedIndex property changing in the presentation model?The reason I am considering this is that since the Presentation Model does not have a reference to the view it is difficult to come up with an ideal solution for manipulating view components.

I am preparing a document for a project. The project's backend is developed in Java, frontend is adobe flex.
I am not sure about the correct way of describe the project in Model-View-Controller way.
For Model layer: Using Hibernate Java beans to implement all the business logic and persistence? For View Layer: Using Adobe flex send post or get request to Controller layer, and get respond in XML format. For Controller Layer: Using Java servlet to handle requests from Flex client?

I would like to implement the MVC pattern to an existing Flex project.I want to separate out the controllers and models from the views. They currently all live together in large mxml files.My question is, should httpservice requests be in the model or the controller? What sort of advantages/disadvantages would there be to either?

I have a Collada (.dae) file that I found on Google's 3d Warehouse. Using Away3d, I'm able to load the file and display it on my view using the following code:
var object3d = Collada.parse(FooXML, { material:"white", x:0, y:0, z:0 });
view.scene.addChild(object3d);
The problem is that it's just floating out in space and no matter how I adjust the position via .x, .y, or .z, it never moves from its spot. I'm using Flash cs4 and the latest stable release from Away3d.

what i want to do is display a set of items by 10, so clicking next_btn shows the next 10 items and also adds 10 items to the start_count var so that the next set starts at the first count (ie 21,31, 41..). counting seems to work fine even if the limit_count var is 54, which shows only 51,52,53,54.
The problem is the backward counting, the operation looks normal but the logic is wrong, when i click the prev_btn the set is repeated (ex. click next appears 1-10, click next again shows 21-30, click prev shows 21-30).I've attached the code below so that you can see what i mean. I think my logic seems wrong somewhere along the code.
Code:
var limit_count = 54;
var start_count = 1;
var end_count = 0;[code].......

As it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.
What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?

I'm about to have to write a web page/app that will serve the agenda for circa 100 people on a page. One line per person, one column per day with 3 clickable zones in each cell. In HTML, the page is way complex for the browser to load quick and there is no possibility to click on a border between 2 cells to for example split an event that spreads among several cells. So I search an not too overkilling technology to render this kind of view. I begun with a PHP generated HTML page but the number of elements in the page make the mouse move jerky.
Moving to JAVA would give me better performances regarding the reuse of the generator of the view but it will still be an HTML page. So, here is my question: do you think that going forward with JAVA and its graphical capability is the simple solution or is Flash a better option for this part of a Web App? I'm afraid of the code I'll have to write in JAVA to handle the GUI presentation as well as the events generated by the 1000's cells plus borders of the page. In Flash, the graphical part seems simpler even if the actions handling is still huge.

I am using Flash CS4 AS3.. When I open my browser "Internet Explorer 7" it opens normal. But When I open a link using the following Flash code it opens half in length and half in width. I need to click on "Maximise" button to view in full. How to solve the problem? It is our Intranet link.
PM3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,PM3ClickHandler);
function PM3ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL (new URLRequest ("http://engineering/history/thisyear/ceomessage.htm"));
}
I tried modifying the line as well. It also doesnt work.
navigateToURL(new URLRequest ("http://engineering/history/thisyear/ceomessage.htm"), "_blank");

I have one .mxml file (the Application) with a ViewStack (with 4 views) and a ControlBard, obviously I can change the views with it, but what I want to do is: in view #1 I have an image which I want to convert to a "hyperlink", so when I click it I go to View #2, is this doable? Also I would like to pass somehow some data (like a String) to that View #2 (lets say the it's a user avatar I click so I want to go to the second view which will show me his profile, that's why I need his name/id).

My problem is that when I try to pass an object from the navigator.pushView(view, dataobject), I can't figure out how to access the dataobject from actionscript. I can access {dataobject.property} from MXML easily, but I want to set a variable in the new view to the passed dataobjects property.

in flash, I encounted a source file that is cropped and I cannot move it, is there some sort of cropped view in flash I dont know about? I cannot find anyinformation about it, it has rulers displayed as far as I remember.
Basically you cannot move in the file to edit anything viewpoint wise, everything outside of the movie area is invisible and not there? As if cropped.

Would like to understand the basic process behind an ecard before I attempt to construct one!Obviously there could be the following elements:Initial web page containing a Swf (choose swf) offering a user a choise of ecards and a consisting of a series of text input fields to collect recipients and senders address and a message. With actionscript that calls a php file on the server.
Passing variables holding the card choise the card text the email from and to etc from swf to php file.The php script runs and creates a copy of a swf card, the one chosen by the user(swf1) It populates the swf copy with text from the variables set by the choose card swf.the php then sends an email to the recipient address with ? and this is where I am unclear?Does it send an attachment of the swf1 or how does it do it?

In a RIA application you are supposed to put as much business logic as possible outside of the RIA layers (flash/silverlight etc). What is the reason behind this? Any logic that goes into the presentation tier gets the benefit of executing faster...
Is this because the RIA technology will most likely need a face lift down the road and you will have to rewrite all the business logic?

I was given a task to make a match making game in actionscript 2, problem is, i have very little knowledge about the language (well, and how matching works in as2, what are the important codes, code emplacements, and all I am new in AS2, and i really need a lot of help with our project. :)
I plan to match images. But.. I was planning to have a sort of "Compatibility" match-up game, like,..let's say we have two batteries, one has a 50v capacity(how do u measure batteries?) then the other has a 100v capacity, then there's this battery slot that only accepts a 50v battery, then you will have to match this 50v battery to that battery slot, that's my concept for the game, sir. I hope you got what i said, sir. :D

I'm working on an app which will, like most apps, have a whole boat load of buisness logic, almost all of which will need to be executed both on the server and the Flash-based client And I'm trying to figure out the best (read: least complex) way to implement the rules engine.
These are the parameters of the problem:
The rules engine must both run in a web browser (ie, in Flash Player) and on the server. Duplicating the logic (eg, by writing a "server" version and a "client" version) would be an unacceptable risk. The input/output data is fairly complex, so serialization is a nontrivial problem. We are currently using AMF for all of our serialization needs, and using another protocol would add significant complexity So it should probably be avoided. It is infeasible to implement a "rules description language". Experimentation has shown that rules are sufficiently complex that any such language would need to be Turing complete Which would also add a significant amount of complexity. The rules engine will not need to make some, but not very many, service calls.
Currently, the best contenders are:
Writing the code in ActionScript, then running it on the server. In theory it's possible to start up an AVM instance, get it long-polling a gateway, then pass data back and forth that way But that seems less than ideal. Writing the code in haXe. I don't know anything about haXe's AMF support, so that could be a deal-breaker. Something involving Tamarin. Seems like a viable option, but I haven't done enough research to tell either way.
