The Lighter Side of Code

I am a novice at Flex, but I am learning a lot every day. I have been reading about Cairngorm for a some time now, and I really can’t wrap my brain around it. I have never been a real big fan of frameworks, but I always give them a try just in case I find one that changes my mind. One thing I have noticed about Cairngorm is how many sample apps there are, yet so few REAL explanations of how to set up the app. Every framework I have looked at so far has had good tutorials of how to use the framework. I have gone through the docs, and the sample apps and I see the patterns, but I don’t see an explanation on why I have 6-8 files for one view. If anyone knows the ins and outs of the Cairngorm framework, please give me a good book or link that will explain the life cycle of a sample app. Thanks!
