Most examples of MVC I've seen assume you first instantiate your view passing
the model as a reference and then add the view to the display list. This is
usually done in Main or the document class for the application.
But what's the best way of setting up your initial dispatcher-listener
relationship between your model and views if the view(say a MovieClip) is
ALREADY on the stage(been manually authored), or is actually contained in a swf
that you are loading at runtime?
In AS2 my experience has been that it was necessary to set up a 'polling'
function in your view class constructor, that ensured the view class and any of
it's children were fully instantiated BEFORE you could successfully set up the
dispatcher listener relationship with the model.
