How do we handle Datagrid itemrenderer's in Fabrication?

I tried to add reactToXyzButton$Click() for a button in ItemRenderer, but it is of no help.

Can someone guide me for it?

Thanks.

Agreed.
The only thing I was saying that instead of these 2 calls, why can't we just have routeNotification() to do the job.

Here I have a scenario where you need routeNotification to be handled in the same sender module as well.

Say my proxy made a call to some service and got the updated results ( a collection). Although I know I can update the same module localCollection in that resultHandler and dispath a routeNotification for other modules to update themselves.

But instead of that, I want to update the localCollection in a respondToXYZ(), so that it can update the localCollection always. Doesn't matter if the call happened in the same module or in a different module. Because I have to have this respondToXYZ() in any case(to handle the localCollection updates from other modules), then why shouldn't I move my logic for localCollection update from resultHandler to this respondToXYZ for all the use cases.

I am not sure if I am clear enough OR I did confused you with all this text. Let me know if you are confused then I 'll try to put some code to explain this.

Thanks,
Manu.

I also have a similar question.
My understanding about notifications( with respect to modules) is that,

"sendNotification()" works for notification interests for intra-module communication (within the same module),

where as "routeNotification()" works for inter-module communication(among multiple modules). And any notification sent through routeNotification can not be listened in same module.

Now again, the question arises that why we can not use routeNotification() only for both the purposes??

Can I find any example for FabricationModuleLoader and FabricationAirModuleLoader?

How to use them and what benefits it provide over the standard moduleloader?

I have no clue why eventSource remains null in function initializeReactions() line 497.

I will try to put it in small example code and will post it back to you.

someButton is NOT null in onRegister().

As soon as I do the following in onRegister(), it works.

:

someButton.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, trapSomeButtonClick );


I have the same situation where putting an addEventListener in onRegister works but reactTo does not work.

AppMediator's onRegister()

:

override public function onRegister():void {
super.onRegister();
registerMediator(new NavBarMediator(navBar));
}

In NavBarMediator,

:

public function get someButton():Button{
return navBar.someButton as Button;
}

public function reactToSomeButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("In NavBarMediator: responding to SomeButtonClick"); //never executed with 0.7
}


Thanks for the online api.

Can you please provide a downloadable link for the api?

First of all, many thanks for giving Fabrication a new life.

Now, Can you please update the documentation/api as well for 0.7 version on fabrication page (http://code.google.com/p/fabrication/).

Hi All,

Just wondering if AirApplication with modules is supported OR not?

I am using the fabricator gem to generate the sample code and then changed the

<fab:FlexApplication../>  To   <fab:AirApplication../>

Now, when I run the app, it doesn't load the module. I am not sure if it's the right behavior or not?

Thanks.

Thanks for this great utility.

I am just starting up with pureMVC and this utility made it en easy start. I am successfully using it for my experimental code.

While I was working with this utility, I had noticed a couple of missing things in code generation.
At first, it generates authentication and dashboard modules successfully, ready to compile.

But after that whenever I add a module using this util, it completely ignores the "shell controller" part. It never generates the code for "LoadXXXModuleCommand.as" and also does not register the command with "XXXShellStartupCommand.as".

Other than that I think NavBar belongs to shell, as it will be holding navigation to all modules(I assume that).

Overall, it's a wonderful job and made it lot easier to learn pureMVC for me.
Thanks for this great job.

Keep it up.

-Manu.
