Hi all,

I have a Flex MXML navigation component with a couple of simple buttons inside, that has a mediator.

There are two options:
1
Setup event listeners for the buttons inside the MXML component and dispatch custom events for the mediator to be picked up.

2
Add event listeners inside the mediator, directly on the buttons inside the MXML component.
Like this: mainMenu.mainMenuButtonHelp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHelpButtonClicked);

Does it break the view components encapsulation if I register for events from inside the mediator ?

It seems a bit redundant to dispatch custom events in the MXML component and then listen for those events inside the mediator.
