How do I connect all the dots? Your view pieces ("components") shouldn't call your data access logic. Instead, they should fire (possibly custom) events when the user "does something". In your Main.mxml, or better yet in a "controller" layer of ActionScript classes (see MVC, above), you will write code to listen for these events and call the data access logic code, which itself probably belongs in yet another separate layer of ActionScript classes. This process of factoring out your application into layers is called architecture, and there's an infinite number of ways to do it. When people recognize a general pattern for doing this, they usually will construct a framework to facilitate re-use and avoid repetition. The Cairngorm framework is an example of this. e
