I had the privaledge to present for the Flash & Multimedia Users Group of Arizona last night. Thanks John C. Bland II for the opportunity to do so, it was fun, and I hope your group enjoyed the presentation!
I discuss how I develop Flash & Flex applications. What is shown is how my methodology currently is as of 7.27.2005. Since I’m constantly learning, and modifiying the way I do things, it may evolve, but currently I enjoy it and I hope others can learn from it.
I covered a lot in an hour’s timeframe:
- FAME: What, why?
- MVC: What, why, my version
- ARP: What, why, my modifications
- _root Hacking
- My Favorite Components
- Show 2 example applications in Flex & Flash using the methodologies & techniques discussed
The Flex app is written in Flex, AMFPHP/PHP whereas the Flash app is written in Flash & OpenAMF/Java. The Flex example is a fun side-project, the Flash example is a product Roundbox Media has developed.
My fist time using Breeze and had some audio issues to start, so I suggest you start from the FAME section, unless you’d like to see the introductory outline.
I’ve fallen in love with Breeze; presenting to user groups on the other side of the country from my office is straight bangin’. If anyone else wants me to present on a topic relating to Flex or Flash using Breeze, let me know!
I had browser problems in both IE and Firefox at 22 seconds when playing back the Breezo, so beware… If you have audio problems, just click pause, wait 1 second, and hit play again.

This is kick ass!

Thanks G! …and uh… thanks for Breeze, hehe!
Great stuff, it’s always good to see how others structure their code.
The ARP extensions you mentioned looked particularly interesting, I had already hacked my local copy to allow arguments to Commands, but yours is even better. Is there any chance of obtaining your modifications? I looked on the OSFlash ARP extensions page and couldn’t find anything.
Do you have any suggestions of Books or sites where I could learn about building a flexible data access class that you talked about where it does not care what the data source is?
Thanks
Grant, check the next entry next to this one; I posted a link to it.
Mathias, few things to hit on Google:
– look up Business Delegates. Basically, they return data, but the command (or whoever creates them) doesn’t care where the data comes from.
– look up ServiceLocator (ARP’s implementation is good). You get a service by name; whether that’s XML or Remoting… it doesn’t really matter as long as it supports a PendingCall via a Responder (which is what the AS2 remoting classes do).
cheers! excellent stuff – unfortunately the sound dies at about 44mins
