That's a tough one. The best advise I can give you think about your commands, naming conventions and sub-folders ahead of time. Especially for Commands. Cairngorm does scale, and it looks the same for large apps as it does for small apps. However, what that means you can easily end up with thousands of Command .as files in the same folder and lot's of names for commands that don't make sense (I'm sure they did when you wrote them). You can also help this by merging similar commands together, but that requires a lot of advance planning too. Personally my favorite part of cairngorm are the ServiceDelegates, but if your not careful the commands can get out of hand. If you can break you app up into smaller components. Say turn 300 forms into 5 smaller apps with 50-100 forms each. then it might not be so bad. I've even gone further by creating an app with a single Navigation movie and an IFrame, and then loaded lot's of smaller apps in the IFrame as needed. ---nimer P.S. I'm in the consulting business now. If you need help let me know.

Our client would like to convert the entire system "as is" to the Flex RIA with a ColdFusion backend. We may be able to split the system into a series of separate sub-applications but there will still be a large number of forms in each project. I am trying to get a handle on how to organize such a beast. How to define the Cairngorm systems and directories. So far, all the Cairngorm examples have been for small systems (4-15 forms). Supposedly Cairngorm scales for larger applications but I have seen no examples or papers showing how it scales for big systems (50+ forms). The number of separate files in a large system will be huge with Cairngorm. Keeping a handle on where functions are kept will be a large task in itself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/Flex/message.cfm/messageid:3150 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/Flex/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.37
