Ignoring scope of _root level functions is fine. Ignoring duplication of
efforts is not. You can always wrap your functions in a class in 5 minutes.
Removing duplication in code, however, takes way longer and may cause
unforseen problems if not solved early enough.

Okay- actually I like that approach. 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.
