And that's fine by me. Flex is intended to follow the MVC pattern, where
Flex is the "V" (View). Flex merely forces you to adhere to the strict
separation between your presentation tier and your business logic tier.
Coming from the ColdFusion world, it may be a bit "strange" for us (well, it
is for me, at least) because it seems like such a rigid line, but it makes
for cleaner separation and code re-use down the line.
