Yes, certainly. I normally do all of my data access in a special component and then update a local model with the data. I use binding and ChangeWatchers to respond to updates to the model. I typically use the singleton pattern for my model.

In other words the component would be totally independent, getting its own data from the back end rather than passing it in from the parent mxml? Thanks Dan Pride
