Jules,
 
Many thanks for your reply....to cut to the quick....
 
So what we are really wondering is, bearing in mind that our goals are the same as those you mention but that we also require flexibility and the ability to reskin our own custom controls, should we be using code behind or inline AS?  
So I'm not quite understanding your challenge here; how the existence of ActionScript inline or in a code-behind class is impacting upon how you skin your controls ?  Is there a snippet you can share that might elaborate ?
 
We've skinned some pretty non-Flex looking applications (check out the mortgage calculator at www.if.com for example) where a huge majority of the skinning is achieved through the use of CSS styles, the rest through many of the usual HTML-esque tricks of getting margins right, and dropping background images in places where we need a graphic rather than a colour.
 
The existence of ActionScript code in the MXML file or not, has never impacted on the strategy for skinning.
 
Do you have an example you could give so we could have a more concrete discussion ?  I'm out of office most of tomorrow, so forgive me if I don't get a reply to you...
 
Best,
 
Steven
