Robotlegs / AS3 Signals Flickr Example

I've been spending some time with Robotlegs these days. I find it great to use and coming from PureMVC it was relatively easy to get the basics down.

What really helped me out a lot was Joel Hooks posts:

And for working with Signals in RL:

I've created a simple app to help me understand the communication between mediators, controllers, and models/services. The app searches for photos on Flickr and presents them in a list, clicking on an item in the list loads the photo. I first tried this with using Events, then moved on to using Signals. You can download the source for this on gitub.

Let me know what you think!
