SWFAddress to PureMVC

Download Sample File that uses (PureMVC 1.7.1)

I’ve been making my self familiar with PureMVC so I am practicing a little. I was also curious about integrating PureMVC with SWFAddress in Flash CS3, so I have decided to port the flash example at http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/ using PureMVC.

While testing, I encountered a problem, when you change the query parameters directly into the browser’s address bar, then click a button inside the movie, it is still functional but the link in the browser is not changing anymore… I still don’t know how to fix it. :) Anyway….

The demo can be viewed here, and you can download the source code here.

I’ve been getting my hands dirty studying PureMVC. I created a helloworld basic application that uses PureMVC framework and uses AMFPHP using Flash CS3. I still want to develop more applications that uses PureMVC so I can get really familiar using it.

While getting familiar with the framework, I also recommend you to look into some of these links:

I also suggest if you have time, you might want to signup to PureMVC Courseware Beta Test Program

While reading at Ted Patrick’s blog, I found out that they are already working on flex to run on mobile platforms. This again is a good news for us. Just like what Ted said, Flex is really revolutionizing development, either its in the web, desktop, and mobile.

Wade Arnold posted new additions in AMFPHP project. There are updates in the documentations and has put together basic examples using AMFPHP.

Current Examples:

HelloWorld ? Passing strings to and from AMFPHP in Flash CS3
Counter ? Using PHP sessions in AMFPHP with Flash CS3.

These updates to AMFPHP is very good news indeed. Lets just hope AMFPHP 2.0 will be released soon.

Very useful video tutorials…

As we all know, Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 has just been announced. The Flex Doc team just posted the changes summary between Beta 2 and Beta 3.

Here’s the summary.

* Advanced DataGrid, OLAP DataGrid, advanced charting, and automation agents are now part of the Advanced Data Visualization Developer Guide. Advanced Data Visualization is available when you purchase Flex Builder 3 Professional, although a watermarked version is available in Flex Builder 3 Standard.

* For the core Flex documentation, we reorganized the online table of contents to display information in a topic-oriented (as opposed to book-oriented) manner. Go to http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex3/html/index.html to see what I mean.

* Of course, the big news is the release of BlazeDS. You can get more information at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/blazeds/ and Mike Peterson will be blogging about the docs later today.

Today, Adobe launches their website. It has a new look, new colors and lovely mini logos. Product pages has really cool backgrounds, and an introduction video at their homepage. But unfortunately, Adobe Labs is not part of the revamp. One tiny detail though, it’s left aligned but overall, I think the site looks good and fresh.

Adobe launches a Flash HD Gallery. It has a few Hi-def videos for sample.
