Hi Guys, I think that the crucial question here is how we handle version control. For a simple bugfix committing to "trunk" and voting or submitting a patch are OK. The problem is how we handle bigger chunks of work like mentioned TabNavigator? I'm all for collaboration from the very beginning of

Re: Flex modularity through composition and interfaces

2012-01-04 Thread Iwo Banaś
Exactly! But here comes the interfaces gotcha: to benefit from interfaces you can't just add a huge interface for every class, you have to define minimal, simple and implementation independent interfaces and ensure that different part of the framework are communicating using these interfaces. The

The Flex framework is a big beast but from my experience whichever part you pick it can be optimized :-) The biggest issue with StyleManager is scalability, it's fast for small toy projects and simple examples but terribly slow for huge applications.The problem is that styles processing times grow

Whatever formatting tool we use we should always make sure to separate reformatting from actual code change. It's a nightmare to review a 3 line bugfix when the patch contains 300 lines with formatting changes. When we agree on the codding standards and Adobe commits the code it would be worth to

That's great to see the first "real" work being started straight away! However I still think that we should release the first baseline version reflecting Adobe Flex 4.6 code with only cosmetic modifications. It wouldn't make sense to rush such an important feature (Navigators) just to get the rele
