So I am going to assume you are using a loop, and lastLabel is a variable set to the last label created in the loop. You're code's going to break on the first iteration since it can't divide a null value by 2. You need to either set an initial value for lastLabel before the loop or not process t

Not to disparage PureMVC (glad it works for you), but I don't really get the significance of the fact that it's not Flex-specific. We're developing Flex apps. One complaint I have about Mate is that the lack of strong typing in the event map can certainly trip you up. On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 10:31

PureMVC is the bomb. Yes there is boiler plate code but the things it allows you to do is very useful. The learning curve is a bit steep if you are not familiar with MVC, but it is really, really worth it. Cairngorm is pretty good, but I felt that the reusability of the code wasn't as great as Pu
