AS3 – Lowra and Flex

Gilles Bertrand gives us some tips on how to use your favorite framework with flex.
Check it out here ( for english people just check the mxml file )
That’s nice… :)
I was wondering how lowRa could be integrated in Flex, and have started looking for other frameworks. But it seems I won’t have to change anyway.
So thx Gilles for sharing this ;)

AS3 – lowRa Assembler

Hello there.

So as some of you maybe know, I’ve started a project some times ago, and decided to do it using lowRa ( read this post )
and start doing the assembler part ( heavily based on the pixlib one ). The thing is I had not time to really finish developing all the features I wanna add to it.
So I decided to post it on the lowra group as is.
It is working, but some of the extra features aren’t fully integrated.
I’ll maybe have some free time in a week or two to finish it. Hopefully then I’ll be able to do a small example and this tut I’m talking about for MONTHS now…
I wish 48 hours day ( even more ) could exist…

Oh and please post any feedbacks / advices you could have…

AS3 Framework – lowRa

Hello there.

In the AS3 project I’m currently working on I’ve wanted to use lowRa a framework started by Francis Bourre.

The framework is really advanced in the development but it was missing lots of the assembler part for the IOC ( Inversion Of Control ), meaning to load dynamically the assets and dll ( extenal classes ) and create the modules / plugin at runtime.

So I’ve started putting my hands in the code to make it happen.
And it’s almost here. Everything is working, loading the assets, the dlls, creating the plugins, creating the loader, and any object that you could have set up in your xml.

I still wanna add some features to the loader. For now the loader is showing only the percent downloaded of an asset / dll, not the percent downloaded on the total assets / dlls. So let’s say you have 4 files to download, the percent will go 4 time from 0 to 100.
I don’t really like this way of doing it. I prefer the user being able to see how much he has downloaded so far of the total.
The other thing is maybe people want to create only scripted loader ( no graphics, everything drawn by the drawing API ).

So I will develop those features today hopefully and I will post an example soon. The files hopefully will be available on the svn soon ( this is what I’ve heared ) :)

Stay tuned it should happen soon

lowRa – AS3 Framework using IOC

Hello there…

You probably know pixlib, a AS2 framewrok made by Francis Bourre.

Now with AS3 Francis helped by other developers is doing lowRa, a AS3 framework based on IOC ( Inversion of Control )
I’ve made a page dedicated to it here that will have all the information you need to start with.

AS it’s a new baby ( not even really released ) there is few information, but be sure that I’ll update this page as often as I can, and I’ll post on the blog to let you know that it has been updated…

Stuff new readers MUST know !!

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…

pixioc, a plugin for pixlib

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

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…
