Hey all,

PureMVC definitely needs more tutorials, so I’ve done my bit to help out by writing one :)

Check it out at http://www.actionscriptdeveloper.co.uk/puremvc-tutorial-flex-puremvc-jabber-and-xiff-3-introduction/

I will have a look at all this, your example got my started…and grab a part of the concepts….
I would advise this example which is simple and good and works with mxml, “How to Setup Your First PureMVC Application” :

Hey Gilles,

Take a look at the PureMVC site they have some Flex examples which are a bit more complicated than the minimalist one but show you how to get started.

In Flex you’re dealing with an ‘Application’ rather than the Stage, so in your main MXML file you set ‘facade.startup(this)’ to run on the creationComplete event (’this’ being the Application). There are a couple of other things you need to do like make sure PureMVC is defined in your name space (xmlns) and that the facade has been created in a mx:Script tag (private var facade:ApplicationFacade = ApplicationFacade.getInstance()).

Probably a bit confusing here but check out this Flex example and things should be clear as mud :)

This example is really nice for the realMVC newbies. I would have a question, which answer will spare me lot of time :

I would like to intiate my facade in my mxml file (into ). What should I do since
facade.startup(this.stage);
returns an error ?

Thanks so much !
