Personally from a Flash Development perspective, I fail to see how MVC is useful in Flash? as Flash sort of becomes the controller in itself. I'm yet to see a good working example of an RIA or any app for that matter built with the MVC pattern in flash.

Typically its easier to use a MV system, model talks to view and vice versa, as you have event management to handle allot of the routine calls that a controller may end up using.

Dunno, i've heard folks like Branden and Co pitch the whole MVP pattern but it seemed a cumbersome way to do things.

Couple of questions for the Mach-II folks out there...

I've been looking into the Mach-II framework a bit and I'm just wondering how client-side technologies fit into the picture.

For example - where does Javascript validation fit in? Is this just considered part of the 'view' and added to form pages?

Also, how does Mach-ii extend to Flash based interfaces? Clearly, a Flash interface could communicate via the CFCs within a Mach-II application, but are there any guidelines as to how the Action Script business logic should be structured? Are MVC design patterns adopted within complex Flash interfaces or is the Flash side generally kept 'thin', with the processing all moved over to ColdFusion? I'd be interested to hear about people's experiences/decisions.

Cheers
