I said that with no malice, only matter-of-factness. :)\ MM put those in for a reason. Not everyone who uses Flash is, nor should be, a programmer. If only programmers used Flash, I somehow doubt it would be as successful as it is. At the same time, it never hurts to learn better ways to work in Flash.
This specific method is useful because when you put all your button actions in a frame script you gain a lot. 1) It's easy to find all your actions for all your buttons in one place. No clicking on all your buttons to try and find the one that's buggy when you're debugging. 2) Makes it much easier on somebody else following behind you, eliminating having to click on all your clips to find the scripts. 3) You can put all your regular AS code in include files and that makes it easy to make changes to the functionality without requiring saving the FLA. This is of huge benefit when two people need to work on the same file, especially a programmer and a designer. The designer can make graphical changes in the FLA while the designer can continue to write code for the same FLA and then just take the designer's FLA and go from there.
