Evening all,

Since Flex 2.0.1, one question I've seen buzzing this list and other
blogs is how the Flex 2.0.1 modules API can be made to work with the
Cairngorm 2 micro-architecture.  This has been a burning question for
myself as well and while I've read several short messages about how it
might be done, I have yet to see any actual code. 

So, I've been working for a short while on a sensible design which can
utilize the new mx.modules API with Cairngorm in a fashion which
maintains the elegance of both constructs. For the interested few, I
have detailed some of the problems across a series of blog posts as
well as a proposed solution at http://blog.digitalmaelstrom.net. At
the end of the last post, I have also made the source code available
for a proof-of-concept extension framework, an example application,
and example module.  While the concept isn't feature complete and
certainly not a full Cairngorm application, it should illustrate my
approach. Direct links to each of the posts are at the end of this
message.

My hope is to reach other expertise who might extend or improve the
concept and provide constructive criticisms. Please feel free to
comment on the posts themselves and certainly on this list.  It would
be nice to see this grow toward a more complete concept or even
influence the later design of Cairngorm itself.

If any of the Cairngorm developers themselves are listening, I would
love to hear their input as well.

Good Flexing to you all.
