Hi Steven, Thanks for the reply.
First, I would like to say that we am greatful for all of the great work that you have put into cairngorm to make our life simpler. The posting I made earlier was in a bit of frustration because I wasn't getting a reply (wasn't aware that the Adobe engineers were away on a conference). As for what we are trying to do: Two months before, we started a project on flex2 alpha, after 1 month into the project, we ran into flex2 databinding issues so we had to drop flex2 and do the project in flash and ARP. (At that time, I asked when cairngorm was coming out and you replied saying soon after the new years, we waited after the new years and was told that cairngorm could not continue until the databinding issued was resolved). Now that Flex2 and Cairngorm has come out and flex2 has has the databinding problem fixed, we decided to give Flex2 another try. We do have your excellent book, "Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex". However, because we jumped straight into flex2 instead of flex 1.5, we weren't able to fully see how the cairngorm store worked. Now that you mentioned Cairngorm2 is basically the same as Cairngorm 0.99 then to understand the Cairngorm store, we will have to install flex1.5 and cairngorm 0.99 and decipher the app. Based on our back and forth dance with flex2 alpha, Flash and now Flex2 beta, we would like to move fully foward with flex2 instead of backtracking to flex 1.5, deciphering and modifying for flex2. This is the reason why I asked when the Cairngorm store demo will be out for Flex2. I hope you understand our situation and not think we are just being ungrateful or abrasive.
