Screen to Screen - View to View??

Question

Hi,
I could use a bit of assistance in determining how to go from
view to view. I have this file called login.mxml it is basically
the default application and it gets loaded when you first hit my
app. Once authenticated i want to send the user to main.mxml. I
raised this question on another forum and someone steered me to
Cairngorm as a framework to assist but its not really an overnight
framework it requires quite a bit of time and learning curve which
I am ready to do but my trial for flex is ending soon so I am
trying to learn much as I can in a limited timeframe.
So can someone either post a brief code sample or explain how
I would handle logging a user in and redirecting them to the
main.mxml page.
All of the tutorials I see are basically one mxml file
everything is all in one file. I have yet to see any examples of
authentication

When you have code like <views:YourMainView id="mainView"
/> does that mean there is a namespace called "views" that has
been defined similar to the below code?
Yes, something like xmlns:views="com.company.app.view.*"

xmlns:control="com.adobe.cairngorm.samples.login.control.*"
The above would define two namespaces? I could then do
something like: <business: /> and reference ActionScript
files and/or MXML files? Please correct me if I am wrong.
You are right.

So does the default application file in a way serve like the
controller file?
I think the default application file should be considered as
a top-level view, rather than a controller. Assuming you store your
logic code inside a separated (controller) ActionScript class, the
formatting code and the logic will be lease-coupled. This concept
can be used for each view of your application using
ModeViewController-compliant patterns like .
ViewHelper.
Note : That's only my point-of-view ;-)
