How to use robotlegs and signals without flex ie. pure as3

I'm try to put together a bare bones robotlegs-signals project but all the samples I've seen are flex ie

Index.mxml

 <context:SignalCafeContext contextView="{this}"/>

SignalCafeContext.as

public class SignalCafeContext extends SignalContext
  {
    override public function startup():void
    {  
        injector.mapSingleton.... etc etc
    }
}

Is this possible to replace the mxml with another .as file - normally I would pass from the main class 

context = new MyContext(this); // where this is DisplayObjectContainer

however super() takes no parameters in SignalContext so I might be missing something.

More Info:

libs:

as3-signals-v0.5.swc

robotlegs-framework-v1.03.swc

signals-extensions-SignalsCommandMap.swc

mxml tags are just shorthand for actionscript classes. So I'd imagine you could start by taking a look at the auto-generated actionscript code. There is a flash builder compiler option that will let you see this. Using that as a template, you probably can't go too far wrong.

What you're trying would work in the current RobotLegs v.1 release (v.1.5.2). Context and its subclass SignalContext take optional params. The first param is your context view: 

contextView:DisplayObjectContainer = null

Here's the SignalContext class extending Context.
Note, Context in Robotlegs 2 does not take parameters (source).

I imagine you need to start with a actionscript project instead of a flex project in FlashBuilder first.

Yes, your right, you just extend the Context class, as you can see in the basic HelloFlash robotlegs demo
