This is hard question. Cairngorm per se don't really force you into any particular solution, though creators advocate binding to data model as often as you can. This may be perceived as either good and bad. For me it's a bad smell since it changes your application into great confusing state machine. I'm not sure I'm right but I think they've used ViewStack, since it view can bind directly to model data. It seems like either they forget about the currentState property and the ability to bind, or have a good reason no to do that. The choice is up to you. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
