True.

As explained in the article, in the command classes you can also use ViewHelper/ MovieClipHelper to interact with your views.

[as]
// GetOrder.as

//import com.bourre.core.Model;
//import sushi.models.SUSHIExpert;
//import sushi.models.ModelList;

import com.bourre.visual.MovieClipHelper
import sushi.uis.UIList;
import sushi.uis.SUSHIListUI;

// … /…

public function onResult( e : BasicResultEvent ) : Void
{
//SUSHIExpert(Model.getModel( ModelList.SUSHI_EXPERT )).onUpdate( e.getResult() );
SUSHIListUI(MovieClipHelper.getMovieClipHelper(UIList.SUSHI_List)).onUpdateOrderList( e.getResult() );
}
[/as]

Pixlib give us this FLEXibility .

I use ModelLocator for the purpose of the article. I wanted to show it in action.

More generally and personally, as a RIA grows, the strategy I would recommend is the ModelLocator strategy. It helps keeping the code disciplined (not mentionned this is the place to store your state).

But It just depends on you personal needs or design choices and the application complexity.

Ok I have small question here.
In your tut, in the GetOrders.as command in the onResult function, we’re calling the onUpdate function of the Model.
This function in the model is doing nothing else than broadcasting the event onUpdateOrderList to the view regestered.
Just asking if we could skip a step and call the function onUpdateOrderList directly from one of the command.

Why here braodcasting to the model which is braodcasting to the view then???
You don’t want to use reference to other view / object ?
