Comment on Flex Best Practices – Models, Views, and Controllers by Wilson Silva

Right now I have a view, a controller, a model and another class that handles URLRequests. When that class is requesting something and when that class finishes requesting something it should update a button label in the view (“Refreshing”, “Refresh”). At the moment I’m learning Robotlegs to see if it helps improving my coding skills.

@Wilson can you not just have one controller per view? Usually those are 1 to 1.

Thanks. I will look deeper at Robotlegs. What do you recommend if more than one controller needs to access the view? I have a lot of labels that need to be changed and right now I have functions on the controller to change the view but that violates your tutorial since they are public…

@Wilson I created this post as an example of how MVC could work with Flex/AS. I would recommend checking out Robotlegs to see how I really do it.

If I were to expand on this example I’d probably make my models singletons and then just access those as necessary. Or have one singleton hold all my models. Something like that. Then all the controllers are directly accessing the central model.

@Mike I just didn’t have time to do a 2011 version. I am working on a 2012. This one should be interesting. I agree that YUI jobs seem to have disappeared.

Interesting article and great insight. Do you have data for 2011?
I would be specifically intersted in YUI jobs also?
Nobody seems to be using YUI anymore.
