There is another method we use. When you start your project create a movieclip and at it to the stage at 0,0. Open it up and add all your GUI to that as you would the stage. Then in your library assign your class to the movieclip.

I had seen you do part of that in a tutorial before but not with actually setting the class as the view from the timeline. It actually makes it a lot clearer now. I guess it's not as much not being comfortable with it as much as sometimes during a quick scripting I hesitate to create a class for a really small app. But as you know then a request here and there suddenly has the app doing a lot more and while I'm waiting for the downtime to put it in a class I regret every new line of code that I'm putting in _root and antiucipating trying to place in a class file. I know that if I code it correctly on root to begin with the transition is not that big a deal but it still makes me cringe. Thanks again- I'll probably use that as my crutch method at times when I'm not quite ready to drop something in a class file.
