Pixelami Actionscript Commons
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Including:

pixelami-amf-lib - An Actionscript 3 library to serialize objects to a from AMF3
pixelami-runner-lib - A Actionscript 3 library to queue and run methods across multiple frames if necessary


The library can be built with Maven.
http://maven.apache.org/

To build:-
$ mvn clean install

NOTE
pixelami-amf-examples depends on Parsley 2.4.0
To install the Parsley swcs you can run the script in 3rd-party called parsley-maven-install.sh
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pixelami AMF Library (pixelami-amf-lib)
An Actionscript 3 library for serializing objects to and from AMF3 

The initial purpose is to allow strongly typed objects to be generated via AMF3 for testing mid-tier/backend services.

The deserializer will be used to create an asynchronous AM3 deserializer


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pixelami Runner Library (pixelami-runner-lib)
An Actionscript 3 library for queueing and running methods in the background

e.g.
import org.pixelami.runner.run

run(myMethod)

run(myMethod,[myArg0])

run(myMethod,[myArg0,myArg1,myArg2])

run(myMethod,[myArg0,myArg1,myArg2],scope)


Below the hood
______________

run() basically uses function.apply(scope,method,arguments).

a method invoked using run() can also invoke further nested calls to run() since it uses a nested stack.

The Runner attempts to throttle how many methods get called per frame, thereby allowing the developer to 
spread heavy processing tasks across several frames rather than grinding the frame rate to a halt 
and blocking display updates.

See example apps.


How to
______

How to know when a particular batch of methods have completed ?

The runner does not fire events - but you can add a final method to the runner the can fire an event or call a callback
eg.
run(function():void{dispatchEvent(new Event("complete"))},null,this);
