This is a crazy long thread! How you need to implement communication between modules and host application is very application specific in that there is no 'one size fits all' solution.
For some solutions, simple Events is the way to go. Others may well suit dependency injection, others a more centralized messaging system etc etc. It really depends on the application as a whole. One particularly neat solution is like the Cocoa NSNotificationCenter (as I have blogged about recently <http://blog.cjtech.co.uk/index.php/2009/03/02/a-better-way/> ). But again, its really down to the applications needs/requirements. Dont be fooled by the 'one size fits all'! --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <tspr...@...> wrote: > > I'm not sure, maybe since modules are independent swf's, but that is way > more complicated than necessary. > > > > Look into the singleton data model.
