RE: [flexcoders] Stupid question regarding Alex Harui's Modules PPT
A module loaded into the main application domain cannot be unloaded.

RE: [flexcoders] Stupid question regarding Alex Harui's Modules PPT
This is partially true. If the module is essentially a graphical component and is loaded manually (sans module loader) and is cast to a DisplayObject using createFactory (ModuleInfo). and then added. behavior is much more agreeable. The caveat is that this approach obviates the need for an Interface. If you are coding against interfaces you avoid inter-module communication woes. With some finesse you can load either visual modules or module libraries. and unload them when they are no longer needed.

RE: [flexcoders] Stupid question regarding Alex Harui's Modules PPT
Interesting. I've never seen a case where a new class that is not already in the main application domain is added to the main application domain and can then be kicked out. How did you go about doing that?
