Hi Rick,
In the past we developed several AS2 Flash (not Flex) applications in
Cairngorm. In the current version of of Cairngorm almost all of the
dependencies on mx packages are in the ServiceLocator, which used not
to be the case with earlier Cairngorm versions. You can roll your own
old style ServiceLocator using the singleton code from the comments in
IModelLocator (maybe also make the class dynamic).
The only other thing you'll miss is bindings, which are God's gift to
MVC developers although somehow they seem to be something the other
Flex frameworks try to avoid using for some reason I fail to fathom...
oops I'm ranting. Anyway without binding the "ViewHelper" pattern can
help - this also used to be part of Cairngorm, although now deprecated.
Here's an old blog post of ours with an example of Cairngorm (I think
0.99) in a Flash project:

Is there any reason not to use cairngorm for AS3 projects. I know
cairngorm uses classes in the mx.* range so its using some flex
framework code (and I assume that means adding the 126kb framework
code at least..)
is there a framework AS3 projects use instead?
thanks
