In PureMVC, IObserver implementors assume these responsibilities:
PureMVC does not rely upon underlying event models such as the one provided with Flash, and ActionScript 3 does not have an inherent event model.
The Observer Pattern as implemented within PureMVC exists to support event driven communication between the application and the actors of the MVC triad.
An Observer is an object that encapsulates information about an interested object with a notification method that should be called when an INotification is broadcast. The Observer then acts as a proxy for notifying the interested object.
Observers can receive Notifications by having their notifyObserver method invoked, passing in an object implementing the INotification interface, such as a subclass of Notification.
