Hey,
We would tend to have global model objects all hung off the one
ModelLocator. For instance, we might have a class Assets.mxml which itself
contains 100+ attributes for embedded images, but we'll have one attribute
in ModelLocator called assets.
However, if you wanted to have multiple ModelLocators, I'd recommend a
factory strategy similar to the old cairngorm ViewLocator or ServiceLocator,
where the ModelLocator becomes a factory rather than a singleton, and you do
things like:
ModelLocator.getModel("assets").bannerImage
I've a funny feeling we considered this in the Cairngorm Committee, and
there were issues with data-binding that chose us to not go for this in the
general cairngorm package.
But I could be talking rubbish.

Subject: [flexcoders] Cairngorm ModelLocator
Is the ModelLocator intended to be the *only* global repository for
variables to which you'll need to bind throughout your application? My
ModelLocator is getting huge, and I would like to split it into a few
ModelLocators (with different names, obviously). Has anyone done this?
Are there any caveats of which I should be aware? How have others dealt with
their ModelLocator's large size?
