Bump... no response, so I'm going to ask this one again. I've made it shorter so hopefully people will read. (see orig. for more details)
I'm using Cairngorm, and want to know ideas you have for: 1. Dynamic views with dynamic data. How to put into the ModelLocator...? I'm leaning towards creating a helper class that wraps a collection of "TileViewStates" each with their own state, that can be added/removed/accessed, etc. 2. How to use Cairngorm for Flex 2 Data Management Services and specifically the "DataService" object. Who's responsibility is it to manage that? I have begun writing a singleton class modeled after ServiceLocator that is specifically for my DataServices. You ask for a DataService by name, and if it doesn't exist, the locator creates it for you, otherwise it returns the one already created. Comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
