Hi Tom, Thanks, I think your addition will help me too, yet, I think you refer to another issue which is whther the TabBar can accept user interaction, which is an issue I havn't take care of yet. I could leverage the model.doneStartUp flag to start manipulating the view data, but I think when initializing a view component properties, it is more intuitive to first try binding the component to a specific function or property from the model or an helper function, this is a matter of personal taste, but also can help initializing components while configuration data is being retrieved from the server:
For example, if my app needs to get 10 configuration files that needs to be loaded before the user can start interaction, I'll show him a modal screen showing the process, but for the sake not delaying the user after the services were loaded by initializing complex component with the retrieved data, the binding can cause the components to initialize before all the services were loaded. Best regards, Almog Kurtser. ----- Original Message ---- From: Tom Chiverton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 11:58:12 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm - what's you best practice on handling inital data from the server ?
