Avoid Tables for UI Layout

Why avoiding tables for layout is important, “it is not that you should never use tables. Tables are in HTML, and when you want to display tabular data, you should use them. But for layout, there are other options”.

EventDispatcher for Actionscript 2.0

I had heard a lot of this being mentioned by many prominent Flash Developers, the other day I was talking to Peter Hall about the same, also heard of Peldi liking the same over AsBroadcaster (yes, the case have changed in AS 2.0), he even did a Server Side equivalent of the same, “Ported EventDispatcher to SSAS” and Jesse Warden have an entry on the same, “Two Reasons EventDispatcher is neato-cheato“

For the Archive sake, here is something on EventDispatcher (thanks for Peter Hall for helping me);

/*
There are two ways to do the initialisation.
In the prototype (Example1) is more efficient more clumsy.
*/

class Example1 {
// these will be filled in with EventDispatcher.initialize
public function addEventListener (event:String, o:Object):Void{}
public function removeEventListener (event:String, o:Object):Void{}
private function dispatchEvent (o:Object):Void{}

function aMethod(){
//send the event:
dispatchEvent({type:”eventName”});
}

private static var dispatcherInited =
EventDispatcher.initialize(Example1.prototype);
}

class Example2 {
// these will be filled in with EventDispatcher.initialize
public function addEventListener (event:String, o:Object):Void{}
public function removeEventListener (event:String, o:Object):Void{}
private function dispatchEvent (o:Object):Void{}

function Example2{
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
}

function aMethod(){
//send the event:
dispatchEvent({type:”eventName”});
}
}
