new Notification()
A base Notification implementation.
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.
Notifications are not meant to be a replacement for Events in Flex/Flash/Apollo. Generally, `Mediator` implementors place event listeners on their view components, which they then handle in the usual way. This may lead to the broadcast of `Notification`s to trigger `Command`s or to communicate with other `Mediators`. `Proxy` and `Command` instances communicate with each other and `Mediator`s by broadcasting `Notification`s.
A key difference between Flash `Event`s and PureMVC `Notification`s is that `Event`s follow the 'Chain of Responsibility' pattern, 'bubbling' up the display hierarchy until some parent component handles the `Event`, while PureMVC `Notification`s follow a 'Publish/Subscribe' pattern. PureMVC classes need not be related to each other in a parent/child relationship in order to communicate with one another using `Notification`s.
