Wow, I looked at Adobe's generated code for some simple databindings and it's truly as gnarly as I'd feared!
Danny, You'd said:
You should broadcast specific events for each property changed....This can
all be done "manually" without much effort. This much I'd basically done on my own, but then you said:
and many of us AS Developers have been doing this for years.
Does anyone know of any clean systems for doing this? I have my ideas, but if someone out there has some kind of framework in place to automate this, i'd love to see it! Scott On 9/14/06, Danny Patterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
This is done in with the *-keep-generated-actionscript* compiler flag. You can enable it on by following these steps: 1. Right-click on your Flex Project 2. Select Properties 3. Select Flex Compiler 4. Enter *-keep-generated-actionscript* into the 'Additional compiler arguments' field. 5. Click 'OK' to apply the changes. Now when you look in your bin directory you should see a new folder named *generated*. This has all the ActionScript files generated by your MXML code. Remember MXML is first compiled into ActionScript and then the SWF is compiled. MXML is not a not language really, its just a simplified way of writing ActionScript. FooBar.mxml is the same as FooBar.as.
