    Integrating RoboHelp in custom Flex application

    I created a help file with Robohelp (application that generates me the only file aide.chm and nothing else). I would like to open by F1 with Flex. How can I do please? I saw a tutorial about this but it seems to apply only to certain types of files together CHM file HHP, HHC, HHK, and H. There is talk of Microsoft HTML Help Workshop. Please help.

    The framework Flex can write very quickly HMI functional, especially through language MXML. It can effectively describe the interface with few lines of code. The only thing is, once past the stage of the POC, the MXML files accumulate, ActionScript creeps slowly in the MXML code to implement event handlers, service calls, the business logic. After some time, it becomes increasingly difficult to know where do the data displayed (ie. what code has updated the information?), from which a call service.

    The first step is to separate the responsibilities of the code of the application. Indeed, when the same method must collect data (eg in a form), prepare for calling a remote service, call the service and update the view, it is difficult to test or trace the origin of a bug. Start with the data model that could do with getting back into separate classes. Indeed, it will be easier toidentify the data to update. For example, when the result of a call for service arrives, the data received will be placed in this model. No need to ask whether all data has been updated, they are unique and grouped in these classes of model. It will, for example, a model for (in the functional sense of the application).

    You define a "sense of movement" of data in the application to facilitate the debugging of it (ie. better understand where the data come from and where will the data) and the re usability and testability of components Flex writings. The "view" of a Flex application is defined by a tree of components (MXML and ActionScript): The nodes of the tree is container components (* Box Canvas, List, ...) with other more primitive components (Label, Button, ...) or other containers.

    Flex is perfectly comfortable with the decoding of XML files, it is easy enough to use this mechanism for the localization and translation . There is no real standard for this , so everyone is free to devise its own system. These XML files will then simply resources deployed on the server and loaded by the Flex application using a URLLoader to load the XML file dynamically requested . In fact you can not use the tag in the XML source - for then the XML is frozen at compile - it boils down to the same situation with resources : a separate SWF for each language .
