This one is pretty barebones (http://library.bumpslide.com/examples/ app_template_mvc/bin/), but it does the job. The main FLA is
absolutely empty, so this can be compiled from Flash or with the Flex
compiler. the main difference here is that we have startup logic and
service loading inside of commands instead of in the Service class.
You could also call this 'Cairngorm for Flash', but this does not
include any formal implementation of Business Delegates or Service
Locator. The FrontController and aspects of the CommandEvent class
are heavily inspired by Cairngorm and the UM Cairngorm Extensions.
I've also updated the original app template to use the new
RequestQueue and RPC framework inside the Service class, and I've
added more documentation and tried to clean it up a bit.
Of course, there's also a new source distribution as well. Test it
out, and let me know what you think. I've got the issue tracker set
to actually notify me now when new issues are posted.

thank you so much david!
it is really good to see it evolve and it is really cool to know you
are listening to those asking for an updated app template :)
rock on!

This looks interesting. I'm looking forward to trying to
unravel / ravel this new version.
Buuuut... I can't even open the "main.fla" file in my Flash CS3...
Do I need to upgrade to CS4? Is this "Flash 10" ? When I
create a new FLA and have "myapp.AppRoot" as the document
class, that doesn't seem to fly either... Pardon the low level
of comprehension here.
So far it looks like catacombs to me, but I have tremendous
faith that these many abstract layers have goodness.

I'm looking at using your LoaderQueue class for loading my images. The only event I see is for when the queue is complete, nothing for progress or updates. Am I missing something or do I need to subclass and add that stuff in?
Incidentally, I'm also going to add a preload marker, that will dispatch an event when the queue reaches a certain point. This is so I can preload thumbnails, then display my site while the larger images continue to load. Any thoughts or advice on this is most welcome.
The LoaderQueue is passed in a reference to a loader instance every
time you load something. Just add your progress event listeners to
that loader before you pass it in.
For an example, see the ui.Image class which uses the LoaderQueue
automatically behind the scenes and dispatches custom progress events.
For your thumbnails issue, I would just enqueue all the thumbnails,
and on the complete event, show the site and then enqueue the other
images.
