Tried it. After fixing a few errors (ex. namespace mismatch because
controller, model etc. are already defined in Application.as, etc.) Am
stuck pretty bad. I see some inconsistencies in how the type of model
(Object vs. IBeadModel) The app compiles fine but I dont see a label on
the screen.
I see a comment in Label.as that the view needs to be swapped out, not sure
what to make of it.
It would be nice to have your original AS version so that I have a good
starting point in understanding this framework.
Thanks,
