I'm sorry, I think you might have just broke my brain :( Or maybe my grasp on Cairngorm isn't quite as strong as I thought it. The root of my understanding is based on Jesse (JesterXL)'s example with quite a few modifications.
I built the parse() method inside the component as it would get into nested arrays and storing a lot of variables in the global program that don't have value to do it the other way. Plus, from an OO perspective I think that is more sound, I can give the SWC to another developer along with sample XML format to provide to it. Make sense no? Part of this may be the 'many ways to skin a cat' challenge that Cairngorm is more a frame on which to hang your code rather than something that forces you to program in a particular manner. Any samples of methods on the model and calling components / their getters / setters from views would be valuable.
