Indeed, it works this way.
Here is the working code for those interested.
 
TestLocator
----------------
package {
 
 public class TestLocator {
  
  private static var testLocator:TestLocator;
  
  [Bindable]
  public var someProperty:String;
  
  public static function getInstance():TestLocator {
   if(testLocator == null)
    testLocator = new TestLocator();
 
   return testLocator;
    }
  
  public function TestLocator() {
   this.someProperty = "Some value";
  }
  
 }
}
 
Test.mxml
---------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns="*">
 
<mx:Script>
 <![CDATA[
  import TestLocator;
  
  public var model:TestLocator = TestLocator.getInstance();
  
  private function onChangeClick():Void {
   model.someProperty = 'Some other value';
  }
 ]]>
</mx:Script>
 
<mx:Label text="{model.someProperty}" />
 
<mx:Button label="Change value" click="onChangeClick()" />
 
</mx:Application>
 
Thanks.

It would if you created an internal var first
 
Test.mxml
-----------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx=" http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns="*">
 
<mx:Script>
 <![CDATA[
  import TestLocator;
  private var myTestLocator = TestLocator.getInstance ();
  private function onChangeClick():Void {
   TestLocator.getInstance().someProperty = 'Some other value';
  }
 ]]>
</mx:Script>
 
<mx:Label text="{myTestLocator.someProperty}" />
 
<mx:Button label="Change value" click="onChangeClick()" />
 
</mx:Application>

I don't think that bindings works on singleton instance syntax.
 
TestLocator.as
---------------------
package {
 
 public class TestLocator {
  
  private static var testLocator:TestLocator;
  
  public var someProperty:String;
  
  public static function getInstance():TestLocator {
   if(testLocator == null)

   return testLocator;
    }
  
  public function TestLocator() {
    this.someProperty = "Some value";
  }
  
 }
}
 
Test.mxml
-----------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx=" http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns="*">
 
<mx:Script>
 <![CDATA[
  import TestLocator;
  
  private function onChangeClick():Void {
   TestLocator.getInstance().someProperty = 'Some other value';
  }
 ]]>
</mx:Script>
 
<mx:Label text="{TestLocator.getInstance().someProperty}" />
 
<mx:Button label="Change value" click="onChangeClick()" />
 
</mx:Application>
 
Anyway, I'll wait for the release of Cairngorm for Flex2.0 to see how Steven and Allistair did this part of their framework.
 
Thanks.

I haven't investigated this for real but you may need to turn ModelLocator into a singleton so that there's an instance of an object to watch.  Because we're doing code-gen and not prototype hacking it's impossible to make a Class object an EventDispatcher.  The singleton approach would allow us to use the code-gen and then you'd simply bind to ModelLocator.getInstance().myModel instead of ModelLocator.myModel.

Make the objects in the Model Locator typed.... by importing the classes you need to ref.

Since it is not possible to create bindings to static properties, how do you implement the ModelLocator pattern in AS3?

PS: by the way, any information on an alpha release of Cairngorm for Flex2.0?
