I'm wondering how to manage styles for view components, e.g. sizing, spacing of sub-items etc.

Of course, there are cases where you'll only need styles within a single class, so you could just put them in constants at the top of the class but in other instances you have to be able to access this kind of information from several view components...

Since the view components are not supposed to know anything about the PureMVC framework, I can't put them in proxies. What's a best practice concerning this topic?

Thanks.

Hi-

I'm creating my first application in PureMVC (ActionScript 3 and Flash) and I can't quite figure out what the best way would be to handle asset loading.

I have a main.swf which holds all of the code and the MainApplication. When the SWF runs, the following files should be loaded:

- assets.swf (movieclip assets, no code, just used for view components)
- fonts.swf (a SWF holding fonts that are later registered so they are available throughout the entire app)
- styles.css (a CSS file containing styles)
- application.xml and possibly more XMLs (data like labels, navigation info etc for the app)

Now, I realize that some of these things will later be handled by mediators (view assets), others by proxies (xmls). How and WHERE should I load all these files?
Just in one huge loading process in the beginning after the facade is started? Or should I load the view SWFs OUTSIDE of PureMVC in my MainApplication and the rest later after I started up the facade? Maybe there are even other, better, ways... I don't know.

Please help.
Thanks.
