I think just a quick answer to your questions which may help a lot is to check into understanding MVC - the Model-View-Controller design pattern. Probably one of the most common pattern used and one that other coding design frameworks use as well for part of their operations.
So there are also frameworks like Cairngorm which takes MVC and other patterns together and go a lot further, it has things like Commands to facilitate communication. But simple MVC using event listeners and dispatchers is probably the best place to start to get what you want to do going.

I am looking to get more info on the composition of design patterns and which ones are used most often in the corporate world. Diagrams accompanied by code examples would be awesome. I have been able to find stuff in the past; yet, I really want to know what is generally preferred? I like to try and make things black box; however, it just seems illogical that things be black boxes all the time. when a person talks to another person the environment that they are in has to facilitate the communication; thus, if I have two objects instantiated in the same class and I want them to communicate with each other, I have to have a function in the main class or somewhere globally that allows those objects to communicate. How do I accomplish this without calling to the function in the parent? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
