If an event is dispatched by a service should I include the word 'service' in the event class name? For Example TwitterServiceEvent. The same applies to Models and Mediators.

In robotlegs book "Actionscript Developers Guide to Robotlegs" they are not using it that way:

_remoteService.addEventListener(TwitterEvent.OVER_CAPACITY, dispatchOverCapacity);

But if you want it and it helps you, you can have it, why not. I use signals, but when I name signals, I name them the same as the command is named with different suffix:

ConfigureViewSignal
ConfigureViewCommand

Also, did you check out AS3 Signals and SignalCommandMap for robotlegs? https://github.com/robertpenner/as3-signals https://github.com/robertpenner/robotlegs-extensions-SignalCommandMap

ThanksBro

    "..if you want it and it helps you, you can have it.." - i agree. The main thing (other than suitable names of course) is to be consistent with your naming strategy. –  Feb 07 '13 at 12:33

    @Matej Šimunić shouldn't you capitalize the first letter of class names like `ConfigureViewSignal` — it looks very odd not to. – Mark Fox Feb 23 '13 at 23:14
