I have finally managed to bring the units test in sync with the Fabrication releases. It has been a pretty hectic last week or so, But I am really happy to have wrapped this up. With 400+ tests and extensive code coverage, Fabrication is now much better positioned to make future releases and fix bugs.

I have updated Fabrication to 0.4.1. This includes a minor fix to the FlexModule to support loading directly via the ModuleManager. If your are not using the FlexModuleLoader then you need to set the router and defaultRoute in your module’s ready handler. I have added an example project to showcase this. Check it out here.

With the release of Fabrication 0.4, I thought it would be a useful to review the Slacker example in more detail. If are not familiar with the Slacker example, check it out here first. This example will help showcase the reduction of glue code from a PureMVC application using Fabrication.

I am very excited to announce the release of Fabrication 0.4. I have decided to release Fabrication on Google Code for the moment. I will look into migration to the puremvc.org repositories at a later date, once those systems are ready.

I haven’t posted the next articles in the undo series for a while now. I wrote a sample todo-list application for the object undo demo earlier in the week. However since then I have made some important changes to Fabrication that further simplify development. I am refactoring the apps to incorporate these changes.
So stay tuned. A very big update is coming!

Allowing users to gracefully revert back mistakes is a often an integral part of an application. This is especially true when introducing users to new applications. Undo/Redo is one such way to allow users to feel more comfortable with your application.
Fabrication comes with its own undo management to handle varying complexity of undos. In the next few articles I am going to go through the process of working with undos in Fabrication. Each article will be accompanied by a complete working PureMVC application.

We have released a new PureMVC multicore utility, Fabrication. It simplifies the development of modular PureMVC multicore applications. You can find more details about it in the PureMVC forums.
Download the Fabrication utility here.
Download the Fabrication routing demo application with the binaries here.
The live demo is here.

We are basically at the start of conceptualization of a new project wherein we encountered the possibility of assets (swfs) being loaded into the parent app from different domains coupled with the fact that they might be compiled using different versions of the Flex SDKs.
Two resources came into mind, the Essential Actionscript 3 by Collin Moock which talks of ‘Shared Events’ and the link from the Adobe site which talks of a certain ‘Marshall Plan‘ which aims to tackle such issues. The “Marshall Plan” is slated to be a part of the Flex 4 release.
