Hi Richard, Cairngorm is mostly a formalisation of what Steven and I produced in Chapter 20 of the book. Cairngorm does, however, add strategies for managing the flow of data between your model and your views, by adding more detail using the ModelLocator and ViewHelper strategies.
You should download Cairngorm and take a look through the documentation. We're currently putting thought into how Cairngorm can incorporate the new features announced for Flex 2. If you have any ideas, please let us know either here (though the message may get lost) or on the cairngorm-devel mailing list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cairngorm-devel/) Cheers, Ali -- Alistair McLeod RIA Practice Director (EMEA) Macromedia Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: +44 (0)131 338 6108 This e-mail and any associated attachments transmitted with it may contain confidential information and must not be copied, or disclosed, or used by anyone other than the intended recipient(s).

I'm new to Flex, and have adopted the ideas in Ch 20 of the i2 book, but haven't explored Cairngorm yet. I'm curious what kinds of things it offers beyond the stuff in the book (front-side controller, commands, view helpers etc.) - Richard On 10/20/05, John C.
