Oooh, some may feel strongly another way, but here goes... Yep, definitely start splitting up your ModelLocators. I have a model locator for every major section of my application (of which there are more than 30 and counting!). It makes life so much easier.
Would also suggest splitting into packages (folders) as well, this makes it easier to add and find locators based roughly on the functions of your application. e.g... com.mycompany.applicationname.model.administration.UsersModelLocator Indeed look out for naming conflicts, on the 'very' odd occasion you may find that a view needs to have bindings to a couple of model locators. If you can, start making those bindings/views into their own standardised components. For example I have a complex FilterUsers panel that is an mxml component (with its own locator); it gets used throughout the application. Thus views that need to filter users have the FilterUsersModelLocator as well as their own. Works beautifully. Same goes for controllers. The plumbing is worth the effort, you'll never look back :D Hope this helps.

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? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
