| DESCRIPTION |
| |
| The DataBindingTest example shows a Royale application that can communicate with |
| a third-party data source (in this case, yahoo.finance) and display the values |
| returned using data binding. |
| |
| This Royale application may be run as a Flash SWF or cross-compiled (using the Royale Compiler) |
| into JavaScript and HTML and run without Flash. |
| |
| The DataBindingTest example also shows how the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern |
| can be used to separate the parts of the application. This is facilitated by |
| the use of Royale beads added to the main application that provide the |
| data connection (via HTTPService) and interacting with the rest of the application |
| via events. |
| |
| COMPONENTS and BEADS |
| |
| - Button |
| - CheckBox |
| - ComboBox |
| - Container |
| - Label |
| - RadioButton |
| - TextArea |
| - TextInput |
| |
| - Data binding: the text properties of TextArea and Label are linked with results |
| from the remote server calls. |
| |
| NOTES |
| |
| The cross-compilation to JavaScript often results in non-fatal warnings. Some of these warnings |
| should be addressed in future releases of the the Royale Compiler compiler. |
