RobotLegs AS3 v0.8: ByeByeFlex (FlexMediator removed)
RobotLegs AS3 v0.8 (codename ByeByeFlex) is up on GitHub:
The RobotLegs Library has received it’s first community contribution! Till Schneidereit fixed something that had been bugging me for a while: the existence of the FlexMediator. Initially I split this out to avoid compiling any Flex classes into pure AS3 projects. Till submitted a patch that allows the Mediator to detect the presence of Flex without this side-effect.
This is why I love Git (and GitHub). Anyone can come along, fork the project, make changes to it, and send a Pull Request – without requiring any permission to do so. This significantly lowers the barrier-to-entry for once-off or “impulse” contributions.
Anyhoo, this change to the Library requires a find-n-replace on old application code:
FlexMediator -> Mediator
RobotLegs AS3 is a Dependency Injection Driven MVCS Framework for Flash and Flex.
There are any other dependencies on Flex Framework or RobotLegs is from now on totally independent to the Flex and can be used in pure_as3/flex_independent projects?
Hi mEtin,
Yup, RobotLegs is totally free of Flex Framework dependencies, and can be used to build pure AS3 projects.
For now, I don’t think you can use it easily with the Flash IDE (CS3/4), but you can compile plain AS3 projects with FlashBuilder, FlashDevelop, TextMate, the command line, etc.
Thank You for a very quick response. I will give RL a try in my next project.
