Re: ASJS question - MXML vs. AS
Any particular reason the TextButton instance is displayed using
this.addChild(button) instead of a button.addToParent(this) ?

Re: ASJS question - MXML vs. AS
Not really, mostly just to see what happens if you use widgets that are not
based on UIBase. As of right now, buttons are based on SimpleButton to save
writing a bunch of code and are not a UIBase, but yesterday I started
leaning towards making an IUIBase and making Button implement that. Feel
free to make that change if it is getting in your way.

Sorry for so many questions. I am trying to wrap my head around all
this.
My end goal here is to churn out Stage3D based Button and Label classes.
I need to first set up everything so that I can work without having to
jump through hoops to compile every code change I make.
If that's your goal, I would skip the MXML part for now and build out a
simple test app in ActionScript. Then you can do it all in either version
of FlashBuilder with the Apache Flex SDK and its MXMLC.
I think FlexJSTest.as would look something like this:
public class FlexJSTest extends Application
{
public function FlexJSTest()
{
model = new MyModel();
model.labelText = Hello World!;
valuesImpl = new MySimpleValuesImpl();
initialView = new MyInitialView();
controller = new MyController();
}
private var controller:MyController;
public var model:MyModel;
}
And MyInitialView.as would look something like this:
public class MyInitialView extends ViewBase
{
public function MyInitialView()
{
super();
}
override public function initUI(model:Object):void
{
super.initUI(model);
lbl = new Label();
lbl.addToParent(this);
...
}
public var lbl:Label;
private function clickHandler(event:Event):void
{
dispatchEvent(new Event(buttonClicked));
}
But I haven't tried it. If you get stuck trying to figure it out, I will
take a look on Monday. You might need to wait for the initialize event
before setting up the four instances in the Application's constructor.
Tried it. After fixing a few errors (ex. namespace mismatch because
controller, model etc. are already defined in Application.as, etc.) Am
stuck pretty bad. I see some inconsistencies in how the type of model
(Object vs. IBeadModel) The app compiles fine but I dont see a label on
the screen.
I see a comment in Label.as that the view needs to be swapped out, not sure
what to make of it.
It would be nice to have your original AS version so that I have a good
starting point in understanding this framework.
Thanks,
Om

I'm not sure why you want to be hand-coding AS versions of MXML files.
The other answer is for the question: How would you write this app in
ActionScript? If I were to do it, it would not use the data array at all,
it would call new Button and new Label and set properties and add event
handlers.

The status page supercedes the original wiki page.
FalconJS converts FlexJSTest.mxml to FlexJSTest.js. Falcon (assuming you
set the mxml.children-as-data flag) will convert FlexJSTest.mxml to a
running SWF.

If that's your goal, I would skip the MXML part for now and build out a
simple test app in ActionScript. Then you can do it all in either version
of FlashBuilder with the Apache Flex SDK and its MXMLC.
I think FlexJSTest.as would look something like this:
public class FlexJSTest extends Application
{
public function FlexJSTest()
{
model = new MyModel();
model.labelText = Hello World!;
valuesImpl = new MySimpleValuesImpl();
initialView = new MyInitialView();
controller = new MyController();
}
private var controller:MyController;
public var model:MyModel;
}
And MyInitialView.as would look something like this:
public class MyInitialView extends ViewBase
{
public function MyInitialView()
{
super();
}
override public function initUI(model:Object):void
{
super.initUI(model);
lbl = new Label();
lbl.addToParent(this);
...
}
public var lbl:Label;
private function clickHandler(event:Event):void
{
dispatchEvent(new Event(buttonClicked));
}
But I haven't tried it. If you get stuck trying to figure it out, I will
take a look on Monday. You might need to wait for the initialize event
before setting up the four instances in the Application's constructor.
