Getting Gears for the PhoneBook Project

following << Planing For My Next Project

So i have been working with Starling , Feathers UI  and Robotlegs.
I worked some basic and then some more directive examples for my Phonebook app . 

Note:I am using FlashDevelop. All the projects i provided here also include the libraries and assets downloaded from the sites ,ie Starling , Feathers and Robotlegs sites.Also i gave other links where you can download the libraries which i used in my project. I am not distributing these libraries , just making it easier for newbies.You should download the latest builds of these free libraries 

Robotlegs v2.10

I found robotlegs so confusing , and i missed the old one v1.5.2, which i could use of-course . But the love for +Robotlegs was strong enough to make me learn it. so i finally GET it :P  mainly by these two examples given at  Robotlegs knowledge base 20-links-to-robotlegs-v2-examples
The 2nd example for my starling interests only :P
Now the Hello World app i practiced to understand RL2 may not be quite a "helloWorld" , i may seems a bit Long for a hello world , but i started as a simple test and then extended it when i  started to get the Ideas .
I didn't implement Models/Services in this example , because this project was useless :P
here is the link if anyone interested , i just worked and checked the things i wanted to, so this example may not be follwing the Best PRactices by RL2 team :)

Starling+Feathers UI

After doing "Hello World" s with starling and feathers , i worked on this example keeping my Phonebook app in mind . Where i will be needing various Screens/States to be displayed. I wrote a basic class to store and mange Screens Ids of Feathers ScreenNavigator component.
Download it you might find it usefull. 


Starling+FeathersUI+Robotlegs v2

Now using same Screens-AS3 project ,i put it into RL2 context , and just mediated the different screens .Noticed one problem though that after Main Starling Root is mediated , it should also mediate the MainScreen , but i didn't mediate it right away , but i think this can be fixed using a command.or may be i missed something. 
I used Starling Viewmap extension by  Jamie Owen ,(Github repo link)



Thoughts

I worked before with RL but feathers is new for me. And I am sensing some problems , like in Screens-AS3 project , i first used ScreenEvents.as extending from flash.events.Event .
This event type is supposed to be used within the "views"(ScreenNavigator,Main Starling), but the dispatchEvent and dispatchEventWith  in Screen control works with starling event. So i changed the ScreenEvents.as class.
May be i could use signals internally , but i am not a fan of signals , so i could Inject eventDispatcher directly in to Starling views , which i am sure is bad practice.
So I will be defining my app next , and will be trying to make Views separate from Mediators(RL2) and other logic ,as hard as possible :)  . So that if the starling views are new suiting me , i could move to flex components or may be separating mobile and desktop views.
