CycleFramework

CycleFramework is a view management and development oriented framework for applications implemented with actionscript3 and Flex technologies. It is developed and mantained by Cycle-IT (http://www.cycle-it.com) but anybody who want to contribute to this project is welcome.

CycleFramework is specially useful for management-like applications, where the different view states follow a root-branch-leaf pattern clearly: the application will have a well defined navigation tree.

In this kind of applications, each view have two identifiable parts:

1. A part which remains invariable during the whole life of a view component.
2. A variable one which may change whenever is needed.

Talking about the navigation tree, there're three important concepts that need to be explained:

* root: Application's main container or the application itself. It'll have fixed and variable view components.
* branch: Navigation view where the application may navigate to. It'll have fixed and variable view components too.
* leaf: Navigation view where the navigation ends. There's no more posible navigations to any new sublevels from this point, but it'll always be possible to navigate to another superior level, such going back.

So, if an application follows this scheme, CycleFramework comes in handy, and it'll ease the developing of flex and as3 applications.
