The easiest way to build and deploy robust MVC applications for ActionScript 3.0, Mobile and the Starling Framework.
Hummingbird is a light-weight, fast and easy-to-use MVC Framework for the Flash Platform. It has especially been designed for the development of Starling-based games.
Hummingbird focuses on Adobe AIR, but is fully compatible with Flex Apache and pure ActionScript 3.0 environments. It can be used for Mobile applications as well as Desktop applications.
By completely decoupling the good old MVC triad, Hummingbird keeps your code concise, simple and modular. Thus, it easily enables teams management and maintainability of code.
The Hummingbird Framework comes with a huge bunch of built-in functionalities, such as ready-to-use templates, ant builder tasks, sample projects and more...
Because Hummingbird uses Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI) to deal for you with the MVC pattern architecture, you just have to focus on the business layer of your applications, or games.
Contrary to others signal-based MVC framewoks, Hummingbird strictly adheres to the MVC pattern. It means that developers can easily identify producers and consumers of action calls between the actors of the MVC pattern.
