Robotlegs - Accessing a view's objects from another view

 We can not directly access a view's object from another view mediator.

To achieve this, we need to dispatch the events & then access the view's objects from another view.

You can not inject a view object in another view mediator & access.

Sample:

I have a MainView which has viewstack consisting of 3 childs (1.UserScreen 2.ProjectsScreen 3.ConfigScreen)

Now i am in ProjectsScreen & on click of a button, want to display the UserScreen by changing the viewstack index on MainView.

In ProjectsScreenMediator you can inject MainScreen view & then change the ViewStack selectedIndex.

Robotlegs sample flex project with source code

This project gives the basic idea on robotlegs framework for flex applications.

Application execution steps:

1. It sets the flashvars object to a model object. (contextView stage parameters)

2. It fetches the user details from the server & stores it. (Using services)

3. On click of a button, it fetches the project xml data & displays it on a datagrid.

Sample screenshot of the application is attached.

Flex 4.5 project code attached. Am using the library & main application. Import the library & main app, start running. You will see the result in action.

I am sure that there would be much better ways to do the things, so comments are always welcome on optimizations/suggestions/questions.

Robotlegs !! Flex framework

Cairngorm 2, Its been 2 years & the framework journey with Cairngorm 2 was good till now. Now, as we all know, more frameworks are emerging with more features, we need to adopt to one good framework though.

This time i chose ROBOTLEGS. Here, the name itself is special :) - I like it.

I recommend to refer the below diagram before starting with your code.
