Flex :: Presentation Model Pattern Can View Specific Logic Reside In View?

Aug 15, 2011

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.

Actionscript 3 :: Model View Controller - Where To Keep Simple Logic

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:

Flash :: Silverlight - MVVM - Presentation Model In Flex Vs Presentation Model In Silverlight: Advantages And Disadvantages?

Apr 10, 2011

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?

Flex :: Change A View From Inside A View?

Jun 13, 2010

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).

Flex :: Taken Push View Object Into Next View?

Flash :: Collada Model After Add It To The View 3d?

Mar 25, 2010

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.

Actionscript 3 :: Design Pattern For Multiple View States?

May 27, 2011

I have an application that takes the user through a set of steps, configuring a product, say about 10+ screens. With options to go back, skip to a certain point etc. I need to fade between these steps, and also have language switches available at any point.

I was thinking of using an MVC style pattern, having a master view that accepts a 'next view' and fades it in, removing the old.

It feels bloated to have 10+ separate view classes, using similar components for this task, so was wondering what other approaches there are that I should look into? or one that is suited for this kind of application

Java :: View Part Of A Web Application - What Technology For A Pretty Intensive Grid View

Aug 3, 2010

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.

Flex :: Cairngorm 3 Presentation Model Initializations?

Jul 13, 2011

I have a TitleWindow that I open up... and I have 6 states defined.I am using the Presentation model pattern for all of my views. When I tell my window to go to XXX state, the controls have to initialize since the states in flex use lazy loading. so... my PM code that says myTextArea.text bombs out and say "cannot access..." so as a work around, I made some creationComplete events on my controls to register the control with the PM. So when the state changes, the textarea finally initializes and on creationComplete calls PM.registerTextArea() which sets a reference to it. then in that function I run my code... myTextArea.text.. etc.

This seems like such a ugly hack that I hate it. Is there any way to wait until the entire state in created then call code on the PM? I have tried enterstate... but this event seems to fire before the state controls are ready.I tried to add a comment, but I guess editing is the only way I can do this...I am doing something slightly off straight PM. Every view has a viewController (as I call them). Its kinda my own hybrid of a delegate / dataprovider. But this is moot. It's the flex component lifecycle when dealing with states that is the pain.if you change state.. there is no event to say "all my components in this state are ready".only event to say "we changed state". so my code that fires on state change is trying to talk to components that aren't ready yet.So from what I see, there seems to be no design pattern or perfect way to ensure that all components are created in a state unless using creationComplete on every component in the state to register it is ready... if you don't, you get a race condition. Regardless of frameworks or design patterns, this seems to be a root issue.

I am trying to attach video to a display once I get to that state. This is done via addchild. regardless of where I do it.. I need to know that the videoDisplay is done loading before I call addchild. I even tried currentStateChange event since docs say that fires last... but alas.. the components in the state are still initializing. So it seems that creationComplete is my only option. Maybe the only sane way to keep to clean code is to create the entire thing(videodisplay and video) using as once the state is entered. I just hoped the flex framework had events to ehlp me here rather than buiilding everything on the fly in as.

Actionscript 3 :: Adding Elements In Flex Using Presentation Model

Apr 11, 2011

I'm refactoring some Flex code written by another developer and I'm implementing a PresentationModel approach, as I like to separate out the ActionScript from the MXML. One of the problems I've found is that the original ActionScript code adds/removes elements from the MXML.What happens is the handler function checks the model and if the values are correct will either create or remove a element from the view. What is the best way to get the presentation model to ad elements to the view and still keep this loose coupling that I'm aiming for.I was thinking of using simple events which the presentation model dispatches and a view can list for passing the details of the element to add.

Silverlight :: Logic Not On The Presentation Tier

Jan 19, 2011

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?

Flex :: Injecting A Specific Model Implementation On The Fly [Robotlegs]?

Jul 25, 2011

Is model injection on the fly possible? In other words,if I ask for a model of the type IPhotoModel, I should get one of its implementations based on the current state of the view. If I am looking at a UserPage,I should get a user-specific implementation of that model.I am looking at a LocationPage,I should get a location-specific implementation.Currently, the only way that I see is introducing a command that specifies the model mapping, with a concrete one based on the current view state ...

injector.mapValue(IPhotoViewModel, injector.getInstance(UserPhotoViewModel)) or
injector.mapValue(IPhotoViewModel, injector.getInstance(LocationPhotoViewModel))

is this the best way possible? I do not really want to introduce much coupling logic outside of the context, but ...

Flex :: Instantiating View Won't Work?

We used to write our UnitTests with FlexUnit and we were just testing our model. Now we want to test the view too. Before i run my tests i create an instance of my view and my model to test the stuff. When i try to access the view i get a null pointer exception. If i add the view to the displaylist it somehow works - even if i remove it from the list right after adding.it looks something like this:

var myView: MyView = new myView();
//myView.initialize(); will throw error
Application.application.addChild(view);[code]..............
