Hey everyone. Long time, no see. I’ve just been super busy leading a team of flash guys on a big project which has left very little time for experiments and playing with code. Anyway, hopefully I’ll get back into my routine and get a few posts out a week again.

This post comes courtesy of Joel Hooks offering a free t-shirt to anyone who made a RobotLegs Screencast. I’m a sucker for geek apparel, so here’s what I made:

For more info on RobotLegs, check out www.robotlegs.org and join the google group.

Also, the IDE I’m using in this demo is FDT. If this demo doesn’t convince you to check out FDT, I don’t know what will ;)

  • In watching this video tutorial, other video tutorials, and reading text tutorials involving Robotlegs I feel I have a fairly good understanding of how the wirings are supposed to work. I am curious though, the tutorials I've viewed and read are all simple and essentially small in scale. So, I had a few questions...

    1) Is it considered good practice to have a unique Model object for each View (view component and it's mediator)?

    2) Is it safe to assume the context class for a large program will have a ton of mappings? Often organized by three "hooks" at a time; 1) mediatorMap mapping, 2) commandMap mapping, 3) injection of the view component (if necessary). Or is there a better way?

    I saw you got the list of classes in project, what's the shortcut?
    In Textmate, that's CMD+T

    Love the IDE, but my head exploded from all that code! Looking forward to more examples

    I soo want to get fdt into flash builder 4 now. You made me jealous
    but this looks a pain
