It was based of another opensource idea by Ben Stucki. (Reflex)

Those were the days of trying to fix the framework we knew was messed  
up but, as in opensource, nothing ever stuck because at the time I  
think Adobe wasn't even opensource, not that Flex was really ever  
opensource.

The injection was handled by metadata reflection and MetaData tags. I  
think it used some managers and a lot of composition and interfaces.

I know I went beyond crazy be abstracting models as well. It tied in  
skins as well, it was when Flex 4 Spark was on the plate.
