These Robot Legs Were Made For Walking

The past few months at Engine have found us using frameworks to build all our Flash projects; for obvious reasons. Frameworks allow for a scenario in which we’re building libraries of reusable code. Multiple developers are able to work on the same project in their own “views,” until we need to bring all the code together into the end product. It’s a much more efficient and consistent development experience. There are a lot of romantic scenarios for frameworks to put hearts in the eyes of developers, but as most of us know, they’re not all built the same. PureMVC was great for a time, but it didn’t take long for me to discover its limitations. A great, confident beginning was quickly reduced to writing a hundred lines of the same code to simply wire up into the framework. Which is why, when it comes to frameworks, we’re happy to get some fresh legs in here. Robotlegs, specifically.
