You should NOT access properties on component's children. This is a BAD PRACTICE.

Great tip, thanks!

I'm pretty sure this project is dead. It should probably be removed from the forums. It's too bad, it had a lot of promise. I haven't seen Darshan in almost a year and his blog is silent too.

Really? What a sad news!!!

It seems pretty stable and I've seen many new implementations using it.

From a newbie perspective I'd say that it's an amazing toolkit and my project is much better using it (considering coding style, logic, etc.).

Is there any technical reason to not use it?
(besides the lack of maintenance and considering projects that uses the supported features of PureMVC on Fabrication)

If the answer is no reason at all I'd say that the community can take over it  .... I'll digg a little bit into the source code

Thanks

Hi,

I'm implementing my first Fabrication app and I'm missing something since the trap/reactTo support is not working for any of my mediators.

I've double checked (following http://code.google.com/p/fabrication/wiki/Reactions):
1. My mediator extends FlexMediator;
2. I do have a property get function at the mediator for the component I'd like to reactTo/trap (btnEntrar);
3. My reactTo method is CamelCase named with the event (Click) CamelCased as well.

[EDITED] The only difference between the sample and my application that I'm aware of is the mediator registration:

:

registerMediator(new LoginScreenMediator(app.loginScreen));I'm not able to use correctly the resolve method receiving a cast exception when I do use it:

:

resolve(application).loginScreen (and I do have the loginScreen component at the application.

If I register the event listener (commented line on onRegister method) my application works fine.

Any idea on what am I missing?

Hi,

I'd like to use the trap/reactTo support for events on the root tag of a component. The problem is that the root tag does not allow "id" to be set. Is there anyway to use it with fabrication?

thanks
