  • How to order the code so that it is very.

    Hello.

    I will start by saying that I am very new to flex.

    I have a very basic question which I hope will be very easy for you to answer:

    I want to create a great application in flex and not sure how to order the code so that it is separated into blocks of code. I want a tool like the php include function, or at least be able toseperate code so that it won't end up as a big chunck of code on a single page.

    What do you think is the best way to do this?

    Thank you for your time.

    You start in Flex, but if you are not new to programming in general, you have probably heard of the MVC design pattern.  In consider sure Adobe Cairngorm for Flex and MVC, check Mate, PureMVC and well.  In my view, however, MVC is overkill in many situations, even large apps (unless they are multi-developers projects).

    You can also look in code-behind, a model of design often seen in c# work, although I have not used it myself.

    Do as the second poster mentioned and split your application into sections MXML and Actionscript, but go further and split your application into several custom components.  Each component can have its own file MXML and Actionscript.  I found it's way faster and easier to organize even large applications.

    Programming Flex 3 from Oreilly publishing has a large section on how to break down your application into several manageable components.  And there is probably a chapter like him in many Flex books.

    Hello

    XP is not an upgrade, and you can buy XP or Windows 7.

    XP is no longer marketed by Microsoft or main computer for many years manufacturers.

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
