To solve this problem I looked at Mate and how they delt with some of the issues, namely dependancy injection. I started researching a little and came across a few articles that spiked my interest one by Allen Manning and another by Steve Brownlee.

In essence, I'm only using their code that involves managing Flex Modules. One of the good things about Cairngorm is that since it is such a basic code architecture, you can easily extend, override, or simply replace a lot of its code with something better. This, of course, begs the question "Why use Cairngorm then if I'm simply going to modify it to an extent to which it's no longer recognizable?" That's what I've been struggling with, but since our corporate standard is Cairngorm, I have to work with what I'm given :) @Ricovitch: I am also using the UM package, but a significant part of their code has either been overwritten or ignored, because I had already implemented similar functionality in a more lightweight manner.

Actually the focus of this purposes is the main reason for me to seek for an alternative to cairngorm... So i'd love to see a beautiful and simple solution emerge. I tried with UniversalMind extension too, but a bit heavy to switch to. Seems interesting !
