The interface:

5
6

package views.presentationmodel
{
public interface IPresentationModel
{
function get myVar() : String
function set myVar(value : String) : void
}
}

and the presentation model:

1
2
3

5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14

package views.presentationmodel
{
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import mx.controls.Alert;

public class PresentationModel1 extends EventDispatcher implements IPresentationModel
{
private var _myVar : String;

[Bindable]
public function get myVar() : String
{
return _myVar;
}

public function set myVar( value : String ) : void
{
_myVar = value;
}

}
}

“You can as easily imagine using data binding to dynamically change view’s properties (visible, enabled, label, whatnot) with some bindable variables in the presentation model.”

I am new to Flex. This maybe out of topic. How to define bindable variables in IPresentationModel interface? Maybe an improved example besides buttonX_clickHandler can provide a better idea….

Thanks.

“Here we go. Next, my new favourite one: a port of PureMVC’s mediator pattern which is one of the best ways to use Mate with the new Flex 4 component architecture.”

Do we have any chance to read this next article?

Anyhow , a big thank for the ten previous ones.
