Hi Muzak, Can you provide some more details on these 2 statements?
- found arp to be somewhat limited and unflexible - It goes far beyond ARP, no doubt
ARP was no doubt the pioneer in introducing design patterns development into flash apps. However, its MVC model is not what I would call the ideal, not when you take into account the decoupling between the classes. Pixlib has two MVC models you can choose: a "strict" one and a frontcontroller based one, similar to arp/cairngorm. The original arp didn't have a EventBroadcaster nor the concept of system events. To make views downloadable at runtime I had to modify significantly the way it worked. Also, the lack of a ModelLocator (introduced on recent versions of ARP) and the coupling between commands and views were things I really didn't like about ARP> Pixlib makes it easy to load and locate views anywhere in your application through MovieClipHelper and GraphicLibLocator classes, and has a very nice Model and ModelLocator class. Not to mention the other usefull packages and classes it provides. It has been designed from the ground up to be powerful and flexible. Take a look at www.deja-vue.net, at the Sushi service application ... this was the article that conviced me to "switch" to pixlib. On 11/8/06, Muzak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
