Ryan, If you're already using a model, then you don't necessarily have to pass data between seperate components and/or send data to the model to be updated. Instead, use can implement data binding. This is where the power of Cairngorm really shows. I'm not saying that you have to use Cairngorm here, but you can certainly borrow some of its concepts. Because you have created an event driven navigation system, you can choose to attach the component's data to the navigation event and update the model when the event fires.
Preferably though, you can bind the data in the model to the components and avoid having to update the model at all. In this case, the client side data (Value Objects) would reside in the model. This applies to permanent and temporary data alike. When a change is made to the data in the model, the bound components automatically reflect the change. Conversely, when the data changes in the components, the data in the model is immediately updated. This is possible because the data in both places is actually the same object. :) -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "rgwilson26" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have an app where I have created a single control bar that allows > the user to navigate through various components in my application. > This is so that the navigiation is always located at the bottom of > the screen and is visible at all times to the user without > scrolling.
