Thanks for posting your Cairngorm 2 example. Seeing it in action really helped pull all the pieces of Cairngorm together for me. I have only been using Cairngorm for a few days, but it is very similar to a MVC micro-arcitecture I wrote from scratch for use with AS2 (it took me 18 months to get it to a decent re-usable place ...).
I am trying to get a feel for the best way to handle changing states. I have a bunch of MyView.mxml views that I have organized in a ViewStack. It was working ok when I was making ViewStack.selectedIndex changes directly from the Views. Now that I am using Caringorm I want to bind the ViewStack to the ModelLocator and make changes to the ModelLocator only from Commands. (I think that is the 'correct' way to do it right?) My problem is that I am not eactly sure how to do it other then the way you did in your example project. You wrote: [QUOTE] // only do this if you have a 4 hour deadline; // some people think state vars are good. I think // they are evil... but man, they sure work in a pinch. public static const STATE_READY:String = "ready"; public static const STATE_SEARCHING:String = "searching"; public static const STATE_DONE:String = "done"; [/QUOTE] Will you, or someone else, please instruct me on a better way to change ViewStates? Also, other then this forum the only documentation I can seem to find on Cairngorm2 is here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/cairngorm_pt1.html and the examples there are a bit out of date. The home page is also has not been updated since the Flex 2 retail release: http://www.richinternetapps.com/archives/cat_cairngorm.html Does anyone know where I can get better documentation and samples that are Flex 2 specific? thanks --jason --- In [email protected], "JesterXL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ben wanted to see a WebService example via Cairngorm 2.
