You may want to check out Colin Moock's <em>Essential ActionScript 2.0</em>, if you haven't already. The book is split into parts, and Part III features a number of design pattern examples in AS2 &#8212; MVC is among the bunch. myIP,

I like your analogy! You may want to check out Colin Moock’s Essential ActionScript 2.0, if you haven’t already. The book is split into parts, and Part III features a number of design pattern examples in AS2 — MVC is among the bunch.

I am fairly new to design patterns and I am very eager to apply a MVC (Model, View and Controller) paradigm to my upcoming project. I believe what is so neat and interesting about this triad is for the reason that they operate similar to the three branches (Executive, Legislative and Judicial) of the US government. It’s the separation of powers that will hopefully guide the architect (the developer) into designing elegant code. However, from what I have read, I understand the MVC is an overkill for small projects and is a little cumbersome when modifying. My upcoming project would probably be considered small however I will still use this MVC paradigm, I would rather start on a small project versus a large one.
