just to add what Rahul said .. SkinnableComponent is an extension of UIComponent ( rings a bell? :) flex 3? - flex 4 architecture is basically is developed / designed over flex 3), ideally your component should have an acitionscript class to contain the core component logic (extends from skinnable component), mxml class that contains all your view logic / declarative code etc.
The association between a component and its skin is maintained through a skinning contract. for a button a component class is button.as and skin class is buttonSkin.mxml.
