A Dependency Injection framework for ActionScript

Dawn is a lightweight framework for ActionScript inspired by Google Guice. In addition to Dependancy Injection, it provides type safe notifications and helps you to build apps which are loosely coupled, easily unit tested, and less error-prone.

Motivation

A discussion on:

• the failings of common ActionScript frameworks like Cairngorm and PureMVC
• the unsatisfactory nature of ActionScript events
• how a Guice-inspired framework can resolve these issues and allow developers to write less code which does more
