ActionScript :: Splitting Flash Design And Coding?
Oct 14, 2009Hi, I am brand new to Flash and I come from other development environments so I have a question about a possibility. I am aware that you can have a symbol (like a MovieClip) use a custom class to handle how it responds to the world, but I was wondering if it's possible to be able to set some values via flash without having to touch code. For example, I create a MovieClip called Crate, which has a class that lets it be destroyed, but then the designer wants to specify that certain crates have contents inside of them. Is there any way to do that in flash without having to create a new class for the crate?
In other words: the designer puts a Crate in the world and then sets a propery (for example: contents = TennisBall) and the Crate class handles the rest. Will this work? Also, am I right to understand that instances of symbols are all the exact same? So I can't have the designer create a new instance of Crate and then change it to be a little different (like draw a sticker on the Crate), but still have it be the same as all the other Crates?
I hope these questions make sense and I apologize if I asked this in the wrong forum. I'm very interested in developing games for flash, especially after the news that CS5 will let you export to the iPhone, but I'd like to keep the code away from the designer as much as possible,

Jan 22, 2011Flash Builder's design view is worse than 3's (which at least was usable if you ignore some quirks), so WHAT do Flex UI designers (those who don't have paid design teams...) do to design a complex UI? Because Design View (also based on what a lot of people say about it..) gets more useless with every release.See image for some differences in design view vs.Flash. WHAT is causing this? css also posted..("Duration", "hr", "min" are mx Labels, the image size text is an mx Text comp.Project is an "mx only" SDK 4.1 project.) I don't even care that the spinners look different, I just need it to show me correctly sized stuff so I can position things via Canvas, or properly size containers.

Flex - Make Changes Not Tied To A State In Design Mode In Flash Builder 4?
Jun 3, 2011If I have a component that has some states defined, is there a way to make changes in design mode but not have it tied to a particular state? For example, if I have state1 and state2, any changes in design mode will be based on state1 or state2 (i.e. width.state1). I understand this is the direction Flex is going in but I'm transitioning from a Flex 3 app and right now I just want to make the change to width and not width.state1.
View 3 RepliesFlash :: Flex - What Are Possible Non-code-related Reasons For A Blank Screen In Builder 4.6 Design View?
Dec 13, 2011I was editing a very basic mobile Flex project, and after I debugged the master (application) mxml file, Design View stopped working (blank screen displayed, no Design View errors) for all files. Creating new projects, either mobile or else, or testing old, working projects, doesn't work either. Out of the related issues I've found info on, most concern earlier versions of the IDE, and deal with either Design View errors (got none), use of certain functions or custom components (I get the error even on a new project), or are solved by changing styles back-and-forth (tried already, to no avail).
I can't drag and drop components to the design area, either (a "prohibited" symbol appears and nothing happens when I drop); so I'm pretty sure it's not code-related or a bug, but probably something stupid, like a configuration issue, so I definitely need someone to take a fresh look at it.

View 1 RepliesFlex - Design - Mediators Coupled To Proxies In Flex PureMVC?
Aug 14, 2009I've just recently learned the PureMVC framework, and am a little confused as to the coupling between Proxy and Mediator objects. The links on this page connect to some documents describing the framework. (Please note, the links on the aforementioned page open PDFs.)
The diagrams and examples of PureMVC I've examined often show a direct coupling between a Mediator and Proxy. When the proxy's state is updated, rather than sending a new Notification, the Mediator (which retrieves a reference to the Proxy from the Facade) has its state updated.
This certainly seems to simplify the logic of the code, but it also directly couples two seemingly disparate components together. To my understanding, a Mediator's purpose is to translate Events from a view into PureMVC Notifications. Proxies are meant to perform some function to gather data and relay it back to the view. These two components seem to exist in different layers of the application, and perhaps shouldn't necessarily be coupled together.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have the Proxy objects send their own Notifications when their state updates, which are forwarded to the interested Mediator by the Facade?

Flex :: What Was Design Decision Behind ItemPendingError
Jul 29, 2009Flex has the notion of lazily loading data. It has a class named ItemPendingError which allows developers to handle it when an attempt is made to access data that is not yet available aka "pending".However, looking at the documentation it's clear you have to add try/catch blocks around your code wherever you have code that might cause an IPE (ItemPendingError) to occur.I'm curious if anyone knows why it works this way. I'm not sure what the best solution might be, but having to willy-nilly add in try/catch blocks to catch the error and then register a Responder with it feels bad and not very clean. And the fact that you sort of have to exercise your application to make sure you've caught all the possible places where the error might occur is also lame.Is there some other way or better approach that I haven't seen/heard of?
