In order to reduce the size of the main application SWF, I have come up with some practices to keep as much code as possible in the module while still utilizing a single event dispatcher and service locator.
I accomplished this by creating a Cairngorm command to register other commands found inside modules. Read more…
When I first started working with Cairngorm I didn’t really see the purpose to ValueObjects. I would just define my variables inside the event like many of the examples out there. Then I found an old blog post at richinternetapps.com and was convinced to give them a shot. Read more…

As your application grows, you may find the initial download time becomes unbearable. The solution is to break your application up into separate SWF modules.
If you don’t have the latest and greatest development machine like me you may be interested in writing code in an application that doesn’t consume copious amounts of memory and resources…
