TheMadAdmin’s Tutorial For Using EasyMVC by Tom Bray With AMFPHP

A couple of months ago I had the good fortune to participate in an online Adobe seminar that was being hosted by Tom Bray. The topic was easyMVC. I had spent months looking and trying different frameworks for Adobe Flex and I was pretty set on cairngorm.

Tom’s presentation changed that and I am now working using easyMVC by Tom Bray.

  • It has no Library to load, so it is light.
  • It is easy to understand.
    • If you can write custom events and handlers you can do easyMVC
  • You can pick up the major concepts quickly
  • Did I mention it is easy? Well it is.

I had to struggle with cairngorm but easyMVC just seemed to fit my way of thinking. All that being said I started a project using easyMVC that also required AMFPHP 1.9. And I stumbled, badly. I asked Tom some questions and he gave me answers on how to do remoting with easyMVC and I was able to get my project moving.

I also had a question from a one of my blog readers (yes people do read this blog, sometimes) about using amfPHP with easyMVC and it struck me that it was time to give back to the community. So I made a sample application using easyMVC and AMFPHP.
