Ok, use this address if you want to download the classes from the svn as I think the DNS that Francis is using is down,
I am posting this as I dunno how long this will last( Kinda like a reminder for myself too )

Hello there.

As said in the title this tutorial will help you to load assets at runtime. At the same time we will see how to use FlashDevelop and MTASC to create a swf. So no need to open flash anymore…

Ok first, if you didn’t please look at the first tutorial which give you the basis of the pixlib framework.

This tutorial will use the source files of the first tutorial as a starting point. You can download those files from here

Hello there,
the revision 44 of pixlib is out…

Changelog
(more…)

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 )

Enjoy

Note : post has been updated as what was written before was unreadable...

Yes,
In the tutorial PixLib - Understanding the basis of the framework, I've figured out that some of the code in the template provided was wrong.
Sorry for that... Now all is fine.

This tutorial is provided to give you the basis to be able to use the so good PixLib framework made by Francis Bourre. You should know at least what is a MVC pattern and a Command pattern.

Usually, using a MVC, each view will have a controller that will update the model ( if needed ) and any views that need to be changed.
This can be achieved in the PixLib library using the class in com.bourre.mvc. But this tutorial will not deal with this "usual" MVC pattern.

Francis add to his framework something really flexible, called the FrontController. This controller is receiving events from any views and then call the Command associated to it.
You're code is then really clean and pratical: one class = one command so your code for an action can be found really easilly, plus you can see all the actions that could be executed looking at the FrontController code, everything is in there.
You will not look in X classes to try to find the code that do this particular action, you will go straight to the goal.

Ok. Here is THE library you should have in your pocket.
I'm watching the development of this library since the end of 2005, and a month ago I decided to give it a go.
And now I regret I didn't try it before. It's really easy to develop with. Everything has been thought to make your code clean and easy to implement.

I can guess your question: "But where can I find this beauty?"

Just go HERE. You will be able to download the library and you will find documentation and tutorials.
Plus there is a mailing list. People are very reactive and friendly. So don't hesitate to ask question, people will be glad to answer you. I'm sure because I'm quite posting those time and each time I had a answer with a smile.

So thanks to francis bourre who made this happen and all the people who's worked (and still working) with him

Last word. I will try to help the Pixlib community putting some ressources on my website. Hopefully it will be soon. So stay tunned
