Really. Glad you pointed that out. Well then who? An "intermediate"? Explain to an "intermediate" how to implement Caringorn, I read a lot on the site and couldn't for the life of me figure it out, though I don't consider myself just an intermediate, though maybe you do. :) I guess it depends on what you consider an "advanced" coder, that's a subjective definition. I also think MVC is a design pattern, not a framework. In my vantage point, I don't see those as the same thing. We use design patterns like MVC, but not formal frameworks like Cairngorn on our RIAs. I don't think frameworks like you mentioned HAVE to be used to do large projects and keep it clean. But just to do a Webservice call on a large project you "probably should use a framework"? I still would disagree with you there. Design patterns, yes. Frameworks, maybe, if it makes sense and works for you, and doesn't take too much time to figure out an implement. >> var myData_pc:PendingCall = myWS.getMyData(); You re-wrote my example, but it does same thing I wrote, you just changed the names or the variables. I'm confused as to why. >>That aside, I didn't say that if you want to use WebServices >>through ActionScript that you need some kind of framework. Well, OK, I guess if you're getting that technical, you actually instead said, "for large projects you probably should": >>For >>larger projects you probably should be using a framework >>(ARP/Cairngorn) in which case everything is written in code. Very slight semantic difference - "need" vs. "probably should".
