INotifier Interface
The interface definition for a PureMVC Notifier.
MacroCommand, SimpleCommand, Mediator and Proxy all have a need to send Notifications.
The INotifier interface provides a common method called sendNotification that relieves implementation code of the necessity to actually construct INotifications.
The Notifier class, which all of the above mentioned classes extend, also provides an initialized reference to the Facade Multiton, which is required for the convienience method for sending Notifications, but also eases implementation as these classes have frequent IFacade interactions and usually require access to the facade anyway.

Methods
Code void initializeNotifier(String key) #
Initialize this INotifier instance.
This is how a INotifier gets its multitonKey.
Calls to sendNotification or access to the
facade will fail until after this method
has been called.
- Param key - the Multiton key for this INotifier.
void initializeNotifier( String key );
Code void set multitonKey(String key) #
This INotifier's Multiton Key
void set multitonKey( String key );
Code void sendNotification(String noteName, [body, String type]) #
Send an INotification.
Convenience method to prevent having to construct new INotification instances in our implementation code.
- Param noteName the name of the note to send
- Param body - the body of the note (optional)
- Param type - the type of the note (optional)
void sendNotification( String noteName, [Dynamic body, String type] );
