Hi,
This could potentially be a dumb question so apologies in advance if it is. I'm wondering if theres an equivilant of Interfaces in MXML?
Everytime I feel the need to use an interface I always wind up making an actionscript and not an MXML file because I don't know if / how you can.
For example I was going to have a component based on vbox. I have 4 different implementions of the same thing so I decided to use an interface. But instead of making a single MXML interface and implementing it I've created an interface in as3. I've implemented this interface in 4 different classes.
I then have made 4 different vbox containers each with one of the different implementations in the script tag.
Does this sound like a reasonable approach or am I going against the grain here?
EDIT -- adding examples
The interface
package components.content.contents
{
public interface IContent
{
function init():void;
function doSearch():void
function setSearchTerm(term:String):void
}
}
Implementation (1 of 4)
package components.content.contents
{
public class ClipContent extends AbstractContent implements IContent
{
public function ClipContent()
{
}
public function init():void
{
}
public function doSearch():void
{
}
public function setSearchTerm(term:String):void
{
}
}
}
