Hi Alex,
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.
I will look into your examples more and send reply with some detailed
feedback.
Over here we did plan to refactor back to using modules once we had
found solid solutions for each of these issues.
Our main reason for refactoring out of modules was down to release
date timings, once this is out of the way, modules are back on our
schedule :)
regards,
Bjorn

Sorry, sent the last response before seeing this.
I would think smaller swf sizes would be a good thing. Did you run
into the “too many small pieces, too many fetches over the net”
issue? Maybe you could take advantage of the –frame option to pack
several modules into a larger download.
I’d like to know more about what you think the framework needs to
do to better support modules. The shared manager problem has
tripped many, but I give a template for solving that in the examples.
I don’t know if the Cairngorm folks are planning any module-related
features, but if you’re using Cairngorm today and that tripped you
up, I’m sure they’d like to hear why.
I agree that the ModuleLoader kills your ability to use binding,
but keep in mind that binding would also prevent a module from
unloading in many situations. Also, binding is really powerful and
convenient, but sometimes I feel it is overused (especially cuz we
have some optimization issues around binding to constants) and
fatten your application unnecessarily. The underlying principle of
binding is really event dispatching and if you wire it up yourself,
you can still have unloadable modules. However, if you have
scenarios in mind, we can look into smoothing them out in 3.0.
Embedded Fonts… I’ll have to try that out. I would think that my
shared code example would apply though. Unless you want to unload
the font later.

Shaun,
Smaller Swf output file sizes,
Module support within the mx framework,
Module support within Cairngorm,
Issues with Viewstacks and Binding,
Embedding Fonts,
I think there are a couple more as well.
