Ah ha! Of course! Clean and simple. Love it.

Thanks, Cliff.

Great post. Thank you.

I too have been thinking about how best to handle flashvars and have a slightly different approach.

I treat flashvars as I would anything else that comes from my View; by dispatching a custom event and letting the mediator send a notification out to the rest of the application with the flashvars as payload.

My creationComplete handler looks like this:

:

private function creationCompleteHandler():void {
   ApplicationFacade.getInstance(NAME).startup(this);
   dispatchEvent(
      new CreationCompleteEvent(
         CreationCompleteEvent.COMPLETE,
         Application.application.parameters
      )
   );
}

Then inside the Application's Mediator I simply handle the CreationCompleteEvent and send a Notification which is processed by a InitFlashVars Command.

:

private function creationCompleteEventHandler(event:CreationCompleteEvent):void {
   sendNotification(ApplicationFacade.INIT_FLASHVARS, event.flashvars);
}

My original feeling was that I didn't want the Facade to do anything but... well, be a facade.

To be honest, I'm still trying to "think in PureMVC" and don't really know if one way is better than another. Thoughts?

I've been having the same issue and have a fairly bare-bones example that may prove to be useful.

[EDIT] Upon further inspection, there were a few things going wrong in my example. I'll re-post when I have something legitimate. (That's what I get for posting after a long day at work  )
