Would it be possible to have more details about ContextEvent.STARTUP & ContextEvent.STARTUP_COMPLETE ?
i wrote some simple code just to test ContextEvent.STARTUP , and nothing happens :

in my context :
`override public function startup():void{

        commandMap.mapEvent( ContextEvent.STARTUP , StartupCommand , ContextEvent , true );
        commandMap.mapEvent( SBEvent.INIT_SB , SBInitCommand       );
        commandMap.mapEvent( TVEvent.INIT_TV , TextZoneInitCommand );
        commandMap.mapEvent( DataLoadingServiceEvent.DATA_LOADED , PopulateModelWithLoadedDataCommand , DataLoadingServiceEvent );

        mediatorMap.mapView( ScrollBarView , ScrollBarMediator );
        mediatorMap.mapView( TextView  , TextViewMediator  );

        injector.mapSingleton( ComboBoxModel );
        injector.mapSingleton( DataLoadingService );
        super.startup();

    }`

and StartupCommand.as : `[Inject]

    public var service:DataLoadingService;

    override public function execute():void
    {
        Debug.trace( "in the StartupCommand" );
    }`

nothing is traced.

   Hi there,

   you can find the context details on github:

   https://github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-framework/blob/master/src/org/robotlegs/mvcs/Context.as

   The key thing to know is that STARTUP_COMPLETE is dispatched automatically by the context when you call super.startup();

   The STARTUP event is something you would dispatch for yourself, so - in the case you sent - nothing happens because you never dispatch the event.

   I believe Paul Robertson has also now documented this in the asdoc comments.

   Thanks for your reply.
   indeed there is some comment @ : https://github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-framework/blob/master/src/or... , but looking for Context @ http://api.robotlegs.org/ , nothing is explained, right ? or do i look at the wrong place ?

   i'm a robotlegs noob, so i'm just asking questions not to bother anyone, but to be sure i've looked documentation in the right place and not asking question that make lose your time...
   thanks again :-)

   Ah - sorry - didn't mean to make it sound like we're not happy to give our time. Just that a few things are on our 'todo' list but we gotta do the work-stuff first.

   I'll see if we can run an asdoc and get those updated this weekend - it's a good spot.

   Keep asking questions - it's the best way to learn!

   Cheers,

   Stray
