[Flashcoders] Q: Approaches to integrating existing class libraries with frameworks
Hi I'm very much interested in exploring several popular flash frameworks, especially PixLib, but am wondering if there is a way to adopt and integrate legacy class code with these new frameworks. In adopting a new flash framework, does it necessarilly mean starting 'from scratch' in developing a new class library?

Re: [Flashcoders] Q: Approaches to integrating existing class libraries with frameworks
It probably depends on how complicated the thing you're replacing is. I'm doing something similar with the VEGAS library. I have a simple logging class that I wrote as a central place to do logs, but needed to extend it a lot. The logging framework in VEGAS is just about exactly what I needed, so I'm switching to using that. In order to make it work with my old code I'm reimplementing my Logger class such that it uses the VEGAS framework under the hood, so the Logger class I have basically acts as a proxy to the VEGAS stuff. All the old code still works, since the Logger class still exists with the same interface, but it uses the new library under the hood. Then, all new code I write will just directly use the VEGAS stuff, and as I need to modify the old code (or whenever I have time), the old stuff can be slowly migrated to use the new library. -Andy On 1/26/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I'm very much interested in exploring several popular flash frameworks, especially PixLib, but am wondering if there is a way to adopt and integrate legacy class code with these new frameworks.

I cant really comment on the other frameworks as i've not tried them, but pixlib is pretty cool and the community support is excellent. You should definitely sign up for the mailing list if you start working with pixlib. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
