Mate Framework for FLEX
So I am just starting to wrap my head around the Mate concept. I did my first little HelloWorld app, just to get my feet wet. In just an hour of tinkering, the separation of the framework from the application itself is very apparent. Having spent most of my time in the PureMVC world, I have grown accustom to writing my code around a frameworks api, but I do appreciate this clear separation.
I’ll update this post with a link to my simple app, but for now I’m gonna dive back into some code. Right now I am trying to figure out how to trigger multiple handlers to a single event, something like multiple mediators interested in the same notification (Observer Pattern) in PureMVC. For example, I have a simple button that triggers a custom Event, my EventMap currently handles that event using a CallBack tag, so I am only able to trigger a method on the Event target…guess I’ll keep digging : )
