Speeding Up PureMVC Development, Part 2.1: The Mediator (2)

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

I recently wrote a post about speeding up development with PureMVC’s mediator. Now I’ve created a super mediator class that will defiantly help you speed up your code.

I mentioned before that I really didn’t like the idea of having to use “listNotificationInterests()” and then “handleNotification()” as these functions lead to unnecessary duplication of code and, if you’re like me, most of the time you use the “switch()” within “handleNotification()” to execute functions rather than writing a load code.

Speeding Up PureMVC Development, Part 1: The View

Monday, June 29th, 2009

After my tutorial on using and understanding PureMVC, I got around to write some classes that extended some of the core classes of PureMVC.

The main thing that got to me was the repetition of functions such as functions that send events from a view to the mediator and so on. I think it’s just much better if you can get away with creating a nice set of classes that extend the core and allow you to code that much better, so here they are:

Why I like the AS3DS Library

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

This is a quick article about why I like the AS3 Data Structures For Game Developers. I first came across this library when I was looking at effective ways of making carousels, for example, the current carousel on my portfolio uses the library. I’m probably not using it to its full potential, but it’s very good for what I am using it for.

Imagine the situation: you want to create a carousel (much like the carousel on my portfolio) where by you are loading in images, moving them from the right to the left and then allowing the user to flick through them too.

Creating a Video Player in Actionscript 3

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

So I’ve been working on creating a fully fledged player for the web site 1Click2Fame.com. A lot of people who have been following me on twitter have been asking me to publish my code, so here’s what you’ve all been waiting for.

This isn’t just your average FLV video player. I’m not going to go into great depths on creating stuff like the stop button, the seek bar and what not, I believe in creating clean and reusable code, so this tutorial is more about creating a great chromeless player API and then allowing you to go crazy with the UI.
