Welcome to the community, Dave, good to have you! Essentially, the key to what you are trying to do is split up your application into individual modules. It's a bit difficult to give you a link to a single source that will step you through the process, because there are a number of items

You can make your 'views' components and use a viewstack or other container to show that 'screen' or your can make each screen its own app and use the module system to pull each app into the main app as needed. On 5/30/07, Dave @ VitalPodcasts.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I feel like its

Code is code. Not wanting to sound rude, but as with any other application that requires visual elements, you'll have to eventually create them somehow. The huge difference Flex makes is how you go about it. Essentially you will need to work with display containers, such as canvases, panels

I'll address your first question: I'm doing this all the time. I'm working on my fourth huge Flex application. I've been developing enterprise type distributed applications for over 15 years and I can tell you that Flex is one of my favorite tools in terms of creating large RIA type apps.

May need to look at Cairngorm for a unified approach for large applications Yes. A couple of resources: http://cairngormdocs.org/ http://www.brightworks.com/technology/adobe_flex/cairngorm.html Also, I like Joe Berkovitz's ideas on architecture:

Maybe scrapblog.com is a good example for a cms? It's definitely possible to develop massive applications. Get a grip of Flex' component based development model first. Modules add a new layer of complexity, which might not be necessary. Cheers, Ralf. On 5/30/07, Paul DeCoursey [EMAIL
