Hi Tim,
It depends what the relationship of your two MXML files are to your application. In general, when building reusable view and business components, I would not suggest using Cairngorm in them. Think about Cairngorm as the glue of your application components. It does not relieve you on building such components and should not interfere with them. -If your two MXML files belong to one reusable view component, I'd suggest using Flex's EventDispatcher (no CairngormEvent and no Cairngorm knowledge at all). -If your two MXML components are actually changing a state of your application, I would usually suggest to first dispatch a view related event (using Flex's EventDispatcher and no Cairngorm) to the outer, application domain specific view component, fit it into an application related CairngormEvent (using Flex's EventDispatcher with a CairngormEvent event object) that dispatches to a Cairngorm Command. The Command represents a reusable request to your client and/or serverside business logic. In here, you can manipulate your business logic that can be found on ModelLocator. The application domain specific view components bind to that state via ModelLocator. Other smaller view components inside them bind to the outer view component's properties.

Hi all, Situation: form1.mxml ( contains a combobox) form2.mxml ( contains a listbox) When the form1 combobox is selected, form2 listbox should change based on form1 combobox selection. With the new Cairngorm2, what would be a best practice approach to handle the above situation.
