Here is a class that extends VBox:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox
xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
width="400" height="400">
</mx:VBox>
If you save that as MyVBox.mxml, you can then use it elsewhere as:
<jxl:MyVBox xmlns:jxl="*" />
Or:
import MyVBox;
createChild(MyVBox);
If I want to give my class methods, I can do:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox
xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
width="400" height="400">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function method():Void
{
trace("yo");
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:VBox>
Same as:
import mx.containers.VBox;
class MyVBox extends VBox
{
public function method():Void
{
trace("yo");
}
}

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] MXML Components and Classes
So you're saying just extend a standard MXML component with an mx:script
include on line #2. And it should associate the AS file with the class
of the MXML component?
Well, that sounds hacky :) I hope this is addressed for the Beta.
