>>> Can I do this type of dynamic loading/unloading in Flex
Yes. Take a look at modules. I actually made a blog post illustrating this last week. HYPERLINK "http://www.beauscott.com/2008/02/20/using-flex-modules-to-load-dynamic-appl ications-at-login/"http://www.beauscott.com/2008/02/20/using-flex-modules-to -load-dynamic-applications-at-login/ >>> My next step will be finding some training on Flex/Actionscript >>> whether it be actual classes or books, any recommendations on this? Other than Adobe’s SDK documentation and developer handbooks (HYPERLINK "http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Developer+Documentation"ht tp://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Developer+Documentation ), the best resource I’ve found for advanced applications are online blogs: HYPERLINK "http://blog.everythingflex.com"http://blog.everythingflex.com HYPERLINK "http://onflex.org"http://onflex.org HYPERLINK "http://www.bit-101.com/blog/"http://www.bit-101.com/blog/ HYPERLINK "http://www.herrodius.com/blog/"http://www.herrodius.com/blog/ HYPERLINK "http://theflashblog.com"http://theflashblog.com (many more out there, these are just a few I frequent) There are a few mailing lists (this one, flexcomponents, and OSFlash) There are a few good ActionScript reference books out there: ActionScript Design Patterns (O’Rielly) ActionScript 3 Bible I have yet to see a Flex-specific book that offers sound advice for large-scale applications, like covering the dangers of data binding (argue what you will… Buzzword agrees with me: Binding is evil in large apps), overviews of good frameworks and architectures (Cairngorm vs. PureMVC, etc), and best practices for memory management and application size. I’m not saying there AREN’T any out there, I just haven’t found any yet. As far as classes go, I have no idea :-P Hope this helps J Beau From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David C. Moody Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 9:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Dynamically Load Applications? Hi guys, One more question and I think my company can make our decision of whether or not to use Flex. What we have is one large system that is composed and 100's of small programs. Under the current system we have a menu, and then once they choose a program from the menu it dynamically loads that program and then once they are finished with that program it completely closes it and opens the menu again. Can I do this type of dynamic loading/unloading in Flex? This way the user doesn't have to wait on 20 programs to be opened, when they only need to access one of them? I don't need an explanation of how at this moment, just if it's possible. My next step will be finding some training on Flex/Actionscript whether it be actual classes or books, any recommendations on this? Thanks, -David No virus found in this incoming message.
