Thanks for the reply. I guess it does make sense, to take a look at the most widely used. But that is not neccessarily the best, always. In Java-land, everyone was using EJB 2.x, even though there were much better, lighter weight, technologies at hand, just because, well, it was the standard. Given what you say, I *will* take a look at Cairngorm too. But, do you have experience with both Cairgorm and PureMVC, and as such can give me advice on which is better? I see some comparisons of the two here and there, but none of them seem to be very detailed. ? Hi Eric!

However I would advise anyone looking to build Flex applications on top of an existing framework to utilize Adobe Cairngorm for a number of reasons, but mainly because Cairngorm is the defacto standard architecture for Adobe Flex. This means you are more than likely going to need a to have a solid understanding of Cairngorm one way or another simply because it is the industry standard, and for good reason as it is very scalable and provides a robust framework for Flex applications of all sizes. When I conduct technical interviews I make it a requirement that a candidate has expert knowledge of Adobe Cairngorm in order to be eligible for a Senior role within our organization. They could be an expert in many other frameworks for Flex but at the end of the day it is all about standards, and Cairngorm is the standard. Hope that helps.

Most people say either Cairngorm or PureMVC. Do you have any hints or the like on any of them. I currently have no practical use-knowledge on any of them, and would like to hear any recommondations or thoughts on the issue, that you might have. Hi Eric,
