Thanks guys,

I have started using Pipes in a largest application we have started recently. This tutorial helped me to in a great way.

Scottae,
It’s common to have your modules implement an interface and communicate via that contract. There’s not wrong with that at all.

Pipes benefit is realized when you’re working with a PureMVC app. You simply send your [PureMVC] notification and your done, your message is routed to it’s destination. That destination may be in the same module, or down/up a module, up/down multiple modules, etc.

Hope that helps.

I’m sorry if my question has been addressed before, but why bother using the pipes utility? All the examples I’ve seen are fairly complex for something as simple as making a module talk to it’s shell. It seems that you could do something as simple as have each side listen for a custom event….viola, done. I just don’t see the benefit of setting up all the pipes stuff.

Hello and thanks a lot for this post!

One simple question though, the best place to put the ApplicationJunctionMediator.as is in the “top level” package of my app or modules, right?

Cheers

Russ,
Sure, there’s no ‘flex’ requirement for dynamic modules. If you dig back a bit further I posted on AS3 only dynamic modules – http://www.joshuaostrom.com/2008/05/24/as3-puremvc-dynamic-modules/ which might help you move forward, although it sounds like your well on your way!

Josh,
I wonder if you have any thoughts on using pipes and loading swfs made in Flash in to the main Flex app rather than Flex modules? I have tried it out, making my movies main implement the IPipeAware interface, and creating junction mediator for it. It seems to works ok, but I feel there is something missing.

Josh,
Thank you so much for this explicit walkthrough. This was exactly what I needed right now to clear up some of the foggy patches in my understanding of the framework.

Y.Boy,
As soon as some time frees up, I’ll post some more examples and see if I can post the lib as well.
