That's exactly the approach I was going to suggest. I find static
Utility classes to be very useful for collections of helper functions
that don't require any real context (things like string utilities and
common tasks). This tends to be cleaner as well, as you don't have to
worry about passing references around

If these are functions that don't reference a particular instance (i.e.,
don't use the "this" keyword), then it's better to make a static
utilities class (similar to, e.g., Flash's Math class):
class utils.controls.MyFunctions { // Think of a better name....
public static function functionA():Void {
// ...
}
public static function functionB():Void {
// ...
}
}
// In your class:
import utils.controls.MyFunctions;
class utils.controls.ClassA {
public function someFunction():Void {
// ...
MyFunctions.functionA();
MyFunctions.functionB();
}
}
