Great Article, Christopher. I have also found this very interesting article about Silent errors in Parsley http://stageaction.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/flex-parsley-silent-failure/

Never mind, i figured it out,
1) dispatched an event in application complete
2) added event listener in the constructor
3) handle that event in the controller
4) executeservicecall to call the server

How to load data on application startup, let say in your example above when the application starts/display, i want to display list of contacts without typing in anything in search field.

I tried few things but no success yet.
I tried putting code in creationComplete=”search(….
but i noticed that the service is null.

When i type % in search field it DOES display contacts, which means that during preinitialize, service was not initialized, right? or am i missing something

A good coded example would be very helpfull or is this even possible with parsley?

thanks

Hi,

I got the answer for my previous question. Looked into Parsley Docs.

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the example. I have a small doubt.
In the example, config.mxml you have added ContactServiceMock and in views you have
[Inject]
[Bindable]
public var service:IContactService

I guess it means service in views will be intialized to ContactServiceMock Object.

In case I want to intialize service object with ContactServiceRemote, then i replace ContactServiceMock with ContactServiceRemote in Config.mxml.

Now, If I have two different views where one needs ContactServiceRemote and one needs ContactServiceMock then how can we add both services in Config.mxml.

Thanks a ton in advance for the reply.

Thanks for such a nice example.
But “Managed event” part of it kinda looks little vulnerable, especially when multiple objects of a class containing resultHandler are active in the same scope… In that case every object will respond to the event for which the handler is written and unnecessary updates will be made to the unintended object…. I hope I am making sense here…

Nice Tutorial. Goes really well with the manual in Parsley’s documentation.

I just started learning Parsley. Im having difficult getting Message Handlers. So in the given Contact Management application, ToolBar view dispatches the event “search” and ContactList view has a message handler for it. This part is clear.

I defines a message handler for the same “Search” event in main.mxml. But this method did not get invoked
are there any restrictions on which objects can have message handlers for events?

thanks in advance ..

Thanks for this tutorial.

It all looks good, except that this line bugs me: [ManagedEvents("addContact,search")]

It seems wrong to me to define the event names as a constant and then hard code them in this file. I’d like to do something like the following instead, but I can’t seem to get it to work.

Any ideas?
