If you put xmlns="*" on an <mx:Application> tag, or on the top tag of an MXML component, you are saying that any tags such as <MyComponent> that don't have a namespace prefix are to be found in the same directory as the application MXML file.

Hi,
xmlns="*" is an application level namespace definition. It was
automatically included when you created a new MXML application or
component, using File/New, in older versions of Flex. It is no
longer required.
