Hi Carlos, et al, I have a question regarding the need for an ioc container for Flex as opposed to a pure AS3 or Flash project. Flex already provides a hierarchy of containers that contain controls and service proxies. The containers are usually responsible for setting the dependencies between controls and proxies. Setting dependencies can be done with databinding, simple assignment, or by setting up listeners. This is a very different situation from what a Java developer faces without an IOC container when writing servlets or JSP pages. In fact in Flex the built in visual state mechanism means we can set up dependencies and tear them down when states are entered and left. So, here's my question: what would an IOC container add that Flex doesn't provide and how would it improve our work or what we could do? Are you primarily thinking about aspects?
