Started using Mate a few months back. But your Mate Tutorials still provide me with some excellent information that help me to get a better grip with the framework.

Thanks

Arf, you’re right, that one was dropped along the way. Unfortunately it doesn’t look too good about publishing this one quickly as I am pretty swamped at the moment… Sorry about that…

Next time (hopefully sooner than next month): Versioned Applications (think about Modules but more powerful)

Any chance to read this last article ?

anyhow, thanks for all previous ones

Of course it is always possible to use interfaces but it usually only makes sense if your views are generic. In most situations each view’s structure and content are so specific you would end up with a combo of 3 files (mediator/interface/view) for every single view… Sounds to me like a massive overload when Flex, unlike some other languages like Objective-C, doesn’t specifically require it. But in the end it’s your choice anyway.

The way the mediator directly accesses implementation details like button1 and button2 bothers me. What about injecting an IFirstPanel? Would that work?

I just implemented this and had an issue where subsequent retrievals of the View and Mediator from cache by the EventMap would trigger the Injector to call that MethodInvoker multiple times. So, my Mediator was being initialized more than once and ended up with a component variable which wasn’t pointing at the right View.

Adding an “isInitialized” Boolean check to the initMediator() function should fix this, but I just wanted people to know that this is an issue they might run into as well.

You should find an answer to this question in the previous examples, especially the Examples #8 and #9 about Modules which work pretty much the same way.

How would you call an event in SecondPanel from a button inside FirstPanel?
