Swiz in plain AS3 projects

23.10.2009

After working with swiz for two projects I am allready at the point where I don't want to miss it again.
For a current customer though, my colleague and I needed to code a raw ActionScript project and guess what.. we where not at all amused not to have swiz on our sides ;-)
This is where I decided to take a look and see if I can get swiz to work on plain AS3 projects.

After some hours of work the result was there Surprisingly fast...

Mini Swiz Framework Example

23.05.2009

Wow.. It took me a year to write a new post into my Blog.
I hope I get better at this ;-)

Today, i have written a simple and minimalistic example of how to use the new Swiz Framework. Swiz is a really simple and promising newcomer in our Flex world that was written by Chris Scott and has a growing number of contributors.

As i left out all kind of requests, service calls or styling, this example will mainly help those of you who are new to Object Oriented programming as well as those starting to understand the Model-View-Controller paradigm within a Flex application. Basically all it does is update a String in the Model after you pressed a Button in a view Component and shows this new String in the TextField of the view Component.

If you want to get deeper into the Swiz Framework you propably want to check out:

• Jens Krause's example of an SQLite driven Air application
• Sönke Rohde's Blog
• And of course the google code page with examples, a wiki and more tips

A clean way to code CSS

16.05.2008

I don't know if it is the sites i am visiting but every time I want to take a look at the css files I wonder why nobody writes its CSS files in a nice and clean way. Most declarations are just listed in an endless file nobody can understand(not even the developer who wrote it.... noo you can't....stop thinking you can!).

I'm not saying that I invented the way I am proposing now. pixel2life.com uses this kind of formating on its own site and I immediately fell in love with it :-)

new Set Get function generator back online!

13.05.2008

My script with which some people allready made their development-life faster is back online. It generates set and get functions by the variable names you tipe into some input-fields. Very useful when writing your model-classes which are full of properties :-).

take a look on it on www.negdis.com/devzone/scripts/setget
