The PureMVC Framework Code at the Speed of Thought

Hi all-  I'm trying to delay my ViewPreparation, to have it wait until the ModelPreparation is complete.  Since the ViewPrep command is no longer called from the Facade.startup(app) step, I'm wondering how to get an object variable of the app itself to a command not called directly by the facade.  This probably makes no sense, but it's a really simple notion in my mind: to have some simple way of returning the app itself as a variable, to be able to prepare the view outside of the facade.startup(app) methodology.

Thanks!
