sendNotification between module and main app (multicore)

[lamsek]

I'm trying out multicore for the first time, and I'm relatively new to PureMVC.

I set up my code so that I have a main app and a module (both in the same project). 

Q. How can I send a notification from my module to the main app?  It seems like the ApplicationFacade classes handle the notification, but since I have two ApplicationFacades, how do I handle communication between them (without tightly coupling my module and my main app).

In the module I have a ViewMediator that calls (note: this applicationFacade is the main one):

:

  protected function showStatus( event:Event ):void
  {
    statusNav.appNavShell.setStatusMessage(StatusNav.SHOW_STATUS_MESSAGE); // works
    sendNotification(ApplicationFacade.VIEW_STATUS); // doesn't work.
  }

In the main app, I have another ViewMediator listening for this:

:

  override public function listNotificationInterests():Array
  {
     return [ ApplicationFacade.VIEW_STATUS
              ];
  }


Thanks,
KL

Since notification constants are simple strings defined inside each module or app, we don't send notifications between cores.  Instead we either use interfaces or pipes to allow the two cores to communicate.

The Modularity demo shows the shell and modules communicating via interface. The Pipeworks demo shows the use of pipes.
