Yes, for couple of days now I'm on mxna. This post is more for the new reader I'll get through mxna.
I want to introduce you pixlib and the plugin pixioc made by Francis Bourre.

What is pixlib?
Pixlib is a framework that will help you develop application using MVC+Command pattern. It's really powerful and will make you a better developer as well. Check pixlib on http://www.osflash.org/pixlib. You'll find good resources there. You can too check some tutorials I've done for it, here and here

What is pixioc?
pixioc is a plugin for pixlib. It will help you creating your application - manage the downloads of your dlls and assets, create the objects or custom objects defined in the xml configuration file - and will help you to create plugin for your application, making it really flexible. You can go here for more information.

Don't forget to register to the mailing list. People are really friendly and helpful.

I can tell you that I love this framework. I wonder how I was able to develop when I was not using it

Enjoy...

Are you exited?
I am!!

Francis has released a week ago a plugin for pixlib.

pixioc "is based on Inversion of Control pattern and provides some features to build your application at runtime from an xml file like Spring ( Java Framework ). Last but not least, it provides a powerful plugin system and a new event model with channels system."

I'm looking at it right now, and I promise I will write some lines about it when I'll know enough of it...

You can go on the official page HERE
The SVN repository is HERE

Hi there...

This small tutorial will deal with the ConfigLoader class. We will see what is this class for and how to use it in a project.
Of course you'll need the pixlib framework to do so. You can download it HERE or you can use the repository HERE.
You will need as well some basic understanding of the framework. If you haven't done it yet check the first tutorial giving you an introduction to the framework, PixLib - Understanding the basis of the framework

Ok, let's start...

For the people using Eclipse, combined with the plugin FDT to code flash application using the PixLib framework ( I wonder how many people are still reding the post ), Flap Flap has updated the Francis Bourre FDT templates for PixLib to match the last revision of PixLib ( rev40 )
