Rogelio, I am not saying that the Flex SDK should have a lib for DI 
(like Swiz or Mate). What I would like was to be able to configure the 
mappings between the interfaces and objects, so I could easily replace 
TabNavigator1 with TabNavigator2 touching in code as less as possible. 
Part of the DI could even be handled at compiler level.
A similar approach was proposed at the Flex summit by Mike Labriola.
