The Robotlegs MVCS implementation was designed to be convenient: quick-n-easy for common use cases. Nothing is free, of course, and that convenience comes at a cost. I want to highlight a few things that can be tweaked to improve performance for applications that really need it. Read more…
Robotlegs AS3 v1.0.0 has been released
A huge big “Thank You” to everyone involved. Let the “utility building” begin!
Robotlegs is an automated dependency injection framework for Flash, Flex and AIR.
Just a quickie – I cleaned up the Robotliz app a little. In this short vid I walk through the new structure and touch on some light Git/GitHub flows:
The (better, but not awesome) code is over at:
http://github.com/darscan/SillyStockPriceExample/tree/robotlegs
Warning: The style of architecture demonstrated in this video is not sexy. Nor is it in any way recommended. Also, I cheat by eating plenty copy-pasta, and I say “um” a LOT.
I’m still trying to figure about the best way to illustrate the simplicity and flexibility of the Robotlegs framework. In the meantime however, I thought I’d respond to this cool Swiz video by doing the same thing with Robotlegs – except ending up with a modular (as opposed to a static) app, and throwing in some git/GitHub love as a bonus.
I don’t have a nice mic, so I strapped a phone to the side of my head and left myself a really long voicemail. Anyhoo:
You can grab the (terrible) source over at:
RobotLegs AS3 v0.9 (codename ElasticChaos) is up on GitHub:
RobotLegs is nearly at v1.0! Many awesome changes since v0.8, with the most community involvement to date:

The “Official RobotLegs Framework Repository” has also been moved:

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

I’ve started putting together some unit tests for RobotLegs:

Feel free to fork if testing is your idea of insane weekend fun!
