Constructor detail
View()constructor
public function View()

Constructor.

This IView implementation is a Singleton, so you should not call the constructor directly, but instead call the static Singleton Factory method View.getInstance()


Throws
— Error if Singleton instance has already been constructed
Method detail
getInstance()method
public static function getInstance():IView

View Singleton Factory method.

Returns
IView — the Singleton instance of View
hasMediator()method 
public function hasMediator(mediatorName:String):Boolean

Check if a Mediator is registered or not

Parameters
mediatorName:String

Returns
Boolean — whether a Mediator is registered with the given mediatorName.
initializeView()method 
protected function initializeView():void

Initialize the Singleton View instance.

Called automatically by the constructor, this is your opportunity to initialize the Singleton instance in your subclass without overriding the constructor.

notifyObservers()method 
public function notifyObservers(notification:INotification):void

Notify the IObservers for a particular INotification.

All previously attached IObservers for this INotification's list are notified and are passed a reference to the INotification in the order in which they were registered.

Parameters
notification:INotification — the INotification to notify IObservers of.
registerMediator()method 
public function registerMediator(mediator:IMediator):void

Register an IMediator instance with the View.

Registers the IMediator so that it can be retrieved by name, and further interrogates the IMediator for its INotification interests.

If the IMediator returns any INotification names to be notified about, an Observer is created encapsulating the IMediator instance's handleNotification method and registering it as an Observer for all INotifications the IMediator is interested in.

Parameters
mediator:IMediator — the name to associate with this IMediator instance
registerObserver()method 
public function registerObserver(notificationName:String, observer:IObserver):void

Register an IObserver to be notified of INotifications with a given name.

Parameters
notificationName:String — the name of the INotifications to notify this IObserver of
 
observer:IObserver — the IObserver to register
removeMediator()method 
public function removeMediator(mediatorName:String):IMediator

Remove an IMediator from the View.

Parameters
mediatorName:String — name of the IMediator instance to be removed.

Returns
IMediator — the IMediator that was removed from the View
removeObserver()method 
public function removeObserver(notificationName:String, notifyContext:Object):void

Remove the observer for a given notifyContext from an observer list for a given Notification name.

Parameters
notificationName:String — which observer list to remove from
 
notifyContext:Object — remove the observer with this object as its notifyContext
retrieveMediator()method 
public function retrieveMediator(mediatorName:String):IMediator

Retrieve an IMediator from the View.

Parameters
mediatorName:String — the name of the IMediator instance to retrieve.

Returns
IMediator — the IMediator instance previously registered with the given mediatorName.
