Yeah, this is where Cairngorm gets a little dicey in my eyes. For displaying popup windows, I call a command that does it's magic and then sets a property on a model that's being watched and then calls a function to display a PopUP Window.
I've read that some guys pass call-back functions coded into the view into the command that the command calls back with the appropriate data. I've never personally done this as my watcher works pretty well. It's a pain to set up, but once you go through the process once, you are left with a tidy view, and all your code in a command. Look up something called SimpleObserve, it's bascially a ChangeWatcher, but it works well for watching model properties and calling functions when the properties change. There is a Cairngorm Flex list however, I think it's called Cairgngrom Docs on Yahoo groups here that might give you some better feedback. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "shafram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, I have a catesian chart that allows you to click on a single bar > which will display a Menu object.
