Advice On Converting AS3 Project To Flex

May 2, 2012 2:00 PM

Hi,

 

I've been writing AS3 code for a few years now, and now I have the need to convert one of my projects over to Flex in order to support it better on an iPad. In AS3, every screen is represented by a class that creates all of the UI elements with code. My biggest problem with getting my head wrapped around Flex is what do I use to basically represent those classes in flex? I've read about containers and views, but most every example I've seen is written for it displaying with a tabbed or view based view on a smartphone. I don't need any of that, since my navigation from screen to screen will be controled by buttons in the UI. Can anyone give me some direction on what strategy I should be using and whether or not I use views, containers, etc.

 

thanks

    I want to define my different screens in individual mxml files, but I do not want to use the TabbedViewNavigationApplication in the main mxml file. I just want it to use the <s:Application> tags. So how do I do this? How do I use individual mxml files to represent my different screens in this manner? The docs are all catered to mobile phones it seems.

     

    thanks

    Hi,

     

    First of all you needs to use <s:ViewNavigatorApplication> instead of the <s:Application>.

     

    And the second thing is that you have to not use mxml instead use the spark component.
