Hi Tim, You're now getting to the point were serious consideration, towards using an MVC micro-architecture, should be given. You can do many things, in an application, by accessing parent and child components directly. However, there is a point in every application (similar to the point of diminishing returns), where it makes sense to utilize the benefits (loose coupling) of an event driven approach; with something like Cairngorm. I highly recommend that you bite the bullet and invest some time now, to learn Cairngorm; as well as the extremely useful UM extensions. Learning this will answer the questions that you have asked. There are some that will argue different MVC approaches, but Cairngorm is a great place to begin. The time spent now will most certainly change your approach towards development in an exponentially positive manner.
