Title: view-model connection Post by: davidTikva on August 11, 2010, 02:28:12 Hey,
I'm new at PureMVC and I'm buiding a flash game. on the screen there are characters (visual) in the model I got a collection of CharacterVO (data) when the user is pressing on some character, I want to show the user info about the character. how you do it? I need to find a way to connect visual to data. I thought about holding an ID property in the visual class. is that a good way? thanks, Dave Title: Re: view-model connection Post by: puremvc on August 13, 2010, 07:20:53 Yes, the component should have an ID.
If the component that shows the character data is different from the character itself, one way to handle this would be: * Click the character component, it sends an event, * The character's mediator hears it and sends a notification with the ID in the body, * A command responds to the notification, retrieves the data from the model and sends the data in the body of another notification * A mediator in charge of the component used to show the character data hears the note, sets the data on its component. Or if the character component uses the data as a tooltip, then perhaps: * Clicking or hovering on the character component, it sends an event, * The character's mediator hears it, retrieves the data from the model and sets the data on its component. -=Cliff> |
