I have built custom components for Flex and find the component lifecycle very useful for managing display rendering.
Now I am starting to work with AS3 only components and would like to know of any strategies for managing my components lifecycle in a similar fashion since I dont have the Flex framework. It seems that creating a similar lifecycle framework would hinge on the ENTER_FRAME event triggering an evaluation of component properties and if they have changed clearing the graphics, redrawing the pertinent areas, adding/removing listeners, etc.. Does anyone have any documents or pointers on how to approach this? Perhaps someone has done this before since I think it was the only way of doing it in AS2 (which I have no experience in) Thank you, Sean
