RelaxedEventMapExtension and SignalCommandMapExtension
Does anyone use these two extensions together? I'm a little unclear if there is a relationship between the two. RL has a central event bus... when signals are mapped to commands I understand that when dispatched the mapped command will execute with any parameters passed to the signal's constructor injected in the command.
Presently I have events that dispatch the results from a service call. My mediators listen for these relaxed events and get their updates just fine.
Yet there are those signals... and this is confusing to me the relationship between signals and events. Is there a relationship at all or are signals just a substitute?
Does anyone use both extensions together?
Aside from the purported speed benefits, signals are certainly easier to create. Is there anything wrong with just using signals to trigger command execution and rely upon events / relaxedeventmap for passing payloads around or am I missing something?
Thanks!!!

Hi Dan,
I'm not using any of them in my projects.
Robert Penner says:
"Signals are light-weight, strongly-typed AS3 messaging tools. Wire your application with better APIs and less boilerplate than AS3 Events."
https://github.com/robertpenner/as3-signals
So, signals are meant to replace events:)
I like signals, but I try to avoid using signals and events in the same project. Though, many people do just that, and that's ok.
See creynders' demo:

I haven't tried it out yet, but it seems that it combines the SignalCommandMap and the RelaxedSignals. I guess it uses his as3-signals fork: https://github.com/creynders/as3-signals/tree/master/src/org/osflas...
creynders could tell you more about his demo, and whether it could work with rl2 or not.

Yes I like the 'less boilerplate' aspect of signals... thanks for the pointer. I'll drop him a line.
