Module doesn't get any events, when moved to another container.

Hi.
In my main context view there are several containers (layers). I load module and add it to context view directly, all works fine, it initialized and gots events. But when i move module's convtextView.view to any "layer", my module's convtextView.view's mediator doesn't gets any events from main app(

Setup layers in main view:

public class InitViewCommand extends Command {

    [Inject]
    public var view:ContextView;

    override public function execute ():void {
        view.view.addChild(new FloorLayer());
        view.view.addChild(new UILayer());
        view.view.addChild(new WindowsLayer());
        view.view.addChild(new PreloaderLayer());
    }
}

In module:

public class TopBarModule extends Sprite implements IModule {

    private var _context:IContext;
    private var _view:TopBarView;

    public function get view ():DisplayObject {
        return _view;
    }

     // i setup "parent" eventDispatcher to every module
    public function setup (dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void {
        _view = new TopBarView;
        _context = new Context()
                .install(ModuleBundle)
                .configure(TopBarConfig)
                .configure(new EventDispatcherExtension(dispatcher))
                .configure(new ContextView(_view));
    }

Load module:

public class LoadModulesCommand extends Command {

  ...

    override public function execute ():void {
        context.detain(this);

        var loader:BulkLoader = new BulkLoader("modules");
        loader.addEventListener(BulkProgressEvent.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);
        for each (var link:String in model.modules) {
            loader.add(link, {
                context: new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain),
                maxTries: 5
            });
        }
        loader.start(1);
    }

    private function loadCompleteHandler (event:BulkProgressEvent):void {
        var loader:BulkLoader = BulkLoader.getLoader("modules");
        loader.removeEventListener(BulkProgressEvent.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);
        for each (var link:String in model.modules) {
            var content:IModule = loader.getContent(link) as IModule;
            content.setup(dispatcher);
            trace(">> init:", content);
            contextView.view.addChild(content.view);
        }
        dispatcher.dispatchEvent(new ModuleEvent(ModuleEvent.INITIALIZE));
        context.release(this);
    }
}

But if after this i move my "content.view" to any other container, module's mediator stops to handle any events(
Or this is not valid solution and ScopedEventDispatcherExtension in any case?

   Ok, problem is that module's mediator destroys, when i change view's container, and new one doesn't create. Is there any way to avoid it?

   Solution founded, i'm just inject main contentView in modules, and them use it as own. So now, code looks like:

           private function loadCompleteHandler (event:BulkProgressEvent):void {
               var loader:BulkLoader = BulkLoader.getLoader("modules");
               loader.removeEventListener(BulkProgressEvent.COMPLETE, loadCompleteHandler);

               for each (var link:String in model.modules) {
                   var content:IModule = loader.getContent(link) as IModule;
                   content.setup(dispatcher, contextView);
               }
               
               dispatcher.dispatchEvent(new ModuleEvent(ModuleEvent.INITIALIZE));
               context.release(this);
           }

   And in module:

           public function setup (dispatcher:IEventDispatcher, contextView:ContextView):void {
               _context = new Context()
                       .install(ModuleBundle)
                       .configure(BottomBarConfig)
                       .configure(new EventDispatcherExtension(dispatcher))
                       .configure(contextView);
           }

   Do you have logging enabled? Perhaps it can provide some clues as to what is going on under the hood?
