Hi Jamie,
I'm a Cairngorm newbie, but it looks to me as though this is simply a
case of trying to cobble preexisting code (your SWC) into a framework
that it wasn't designed for. In such a case your current fix, though a
kludge, may be a reasonable solution, even if not really
Cairngorm-compliant.
Your only other option may be to completely rework your SWC so it fits
into the framework. But this may not be possible. So much of the
Cairngorm model consists of using data binding from model to view, and
I'm having trouble imagining how one could implement binding from model
to SWC. But now I'm moving into an area where I'm pretty ignorant, so
I'll shut up. :-)
In any case, if you do find a Cairngorm-compliant approach, please do
post it. Then we'll all learn. :-)
Thanks,
Douglas
