Flash and Flex frameworks.

Lately I've working on three big projects that would require the usage of a framework, and not wanting to extend my own framework, that consists mostly of accumulated libraries over time, I decided to give the most prominent ones a go.

So I started by checking out what was on the market, I found as-hive, pureMVC, Cairngorm and Mate ( there are a few more but somehow I didn't feel they were mature enough to be used.

Last month I had to run one image sequence with 100 images, so I create a new movie in flash, put every image in every frame, image1 to frame1, image2 to frame2, etc. It ran ok in flash but when I exported it to flex (SWC format) the problem began. Every time I did some modifications to one of the SWC files in the project it started to delay 15 minutes to build. So be careful with the number of images inside a SWC file, it can be very boring.

I've been gathering some guidelines to writing proper class documentation in Actionscript. This is so basic stuff but anyway it helps to have it written down somewhere. Here's what I have so far as general guidelines:

• Use ASDoc block comments (Ctrl+Shift+D in Flex Builder).
• Write in English.
• Use a $Id$ svn/cvs keyword so everyone knows directly who did the last change on the file.
• If importing to COM, write an example of usage.
• Favor the use of getters and setters instead of public vars/const.
• In the source code use the following order to keep things organized:
