SWF It Good

I wish I had a mac to try it out but you can now use PureMVC to build iphone apps w/ Objective-C.

I can’t wait till the get one for Android. So I can develop on me PC.

So since PureMVC has updated twice and also I never talked about garbage collection of the app, I have refactored PurelyKuler to work with PureMVC 2.3. Thate are quite a few changes, some being:

1. the framework is being ported to many languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, Coldfusion, C# and many others.
   [as]import org.puremvc.as3.interfaces.IFacade;
   import org.puremvc.as3.patterns.facade.Facade;[/as]
   as oppose to
   [as]import org.puremvc.interfaces.IFacade;
   import org.puremvc.patterns.facade.Facade;[/as]
2. there is a new way to notify observers:
   [as]facade.sendNotification(PurelyKulerConstants.STARTUP, app);[/as]
   as oppose to
   [as]facade.notifyObserver(new Notification(PurelyKulerConstants.STARTUP, app))[/as]
3. also the Mediators are can be named from outside the class, so you can have many instances of the class and remove specific instances and not all.public function PurelyKulerMediator(mediatorName:String = null, viewComponent:Object=null){
   _tf = new TextField();

   super(NAME, viewComponent);// the colorContainer
   }
   Those are just a few.

Alright back to PurelyKuler.

Update at: How to Add and Remove Mediators in an Actionscript 3 PureMVC App

So I have been working alot w/ PureMVC, well everyday for the last month to be exact. I’m going to try to explain PureMVC the best way I know how. It may not be the best, but I hope it can get you started. And when you learn something let me know.

So the example I am doing is a simple one using Lee Brimelow’s code from the ActionScript 3 Advanced XML example. The only difference between his and what I changed is some method name changes and putting it in PureMVC.

So if you don’t know what PureMVC is or you are quite confused on how to use it…well so am I . I’m still learned and hopefully can teach some stuff. I’m not going to go into the specifics of this framework but think of it as a way to introduce a lot separation of code using the Model, View, Controller. I’ll explain what I see as the benefits after I explain the example.
