Hello All,
I am converting a Flash MX app into a Flex App - but am super confused
as to which Containers I should select, and which method I should use
when creating a Data Model. One that can collect information from
multiple Forms - which are from separate MXML files that get loaded into
each Container.
Envision a Master/Detail form - where you have a large list of clients
in a DataGrid, and then you bring up a Details view, in a popup window,
based on the selected record.
This Details popup window will be mainly comprised of a Tab Control
controlling 8 containers (maybe a ViewStack potentially), so the user
can jump to any page they want. Per the "Developing RIA's" book I got,
they seem to really be pushing the method of separating each unique
screen, into a separate MXML file. As neat as this method is, how do I
go about making a single Object that contains all the data (spread
across ALL the individual forms), and directly access the content in
each unique Form (each in a unique container)? No matter which Tab the
user selects, ALL the controls spread across all the Tabs, belong to the
SAME Table in the Database - so I only want to submit the data ONCE
after all the related screens are filled out.
Yes, I am familiar with using the "Object" object to collect & retain
the information, but how do I have a single Object grab the data from
all the Fields, when the data is spread across multiple forms, and the
time comes to send it all to the server?
For example:
public var customerObject:Object;
customerObject.firstName = someForm.firstName.text;
customerObject.workExperiece =
someOtherForm.workExperience.text;
etc...
Then send that Object to my Remoting Call when the time comes to Send
(or Receive) the data from the server.
Thanks for any advice you can provide me!
Mike
