It is
essentially a matter of preference. There are no performance differences that I
know of.
I
generally recommend creating components in MXML because it makes several
things easier, such as creating internal subcomponents, laying them out, and
assigning event handlers to them. For example, if I was creating a
LoginPanel, I would certainly do it in MXML.
Can
you explain what is "a bit messy" about MXML components?

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] ActionScript ComponentsWow, that's a great article. It seems that custom components in ActionScript can get quite complex. Is it really the recommended way to create custom components if you can? Creating them as mxml + as files has been pretty easy up to this point, even if it is a bit messy. Is this more a matter of preference or are there actual performance and possibly maintenance reasons for using pure ActionScript for creating components?-- Matthew

Subject: [flexcoders] ActionScript Components
Might someone point me in the direction of some good docs/examples of creating components using ActionScript. I have the RIA book and chapter 10 has some information, but its disappointingly sparse. Mostly I am interested in how to create a composite component. A component containing many other components. The examples I have seen so far simply extend a given component and alter its behavior. Right now I am creating all of my components in MXML with a separate file for their ActionScript. It's starting to get a bit messy for complex components. Any kind of a boot in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks!-- Matthew
