Why would you want to double every class and add an additional inheritance layer just to separate Mxml from ActionScript? Why would you want to declare every component you are using twice, once in AS and the second time in Mxml? Is it to separate presentation from functionality? Generally this is a good idea, but i think it is important where to draw the line between the two. When you think of traditional systems with a template engine as the presentation layer, the templates also contain some code to build the presentation, while the functionality is implemented by plain classes. Now if we translate this thinking to Mxml and ActionScript, we should leave all the code we need to build the presentation inside the Mxml files and factor out the real functionality into classes. So i'd say, there is no! thing wrong with ActionScript in Mxml files as long as it is strictly presenation related. Cheers Ralf.

Since I love using Packages and Classes, it feels very natural for me to use this method. BUT, based on where things are going with Flex, is this considered to be a "good programming practice"? I would love to know sooner versus later, so that I don't have to back and redo a bunch of coding. I am a REAL stickler when it comes to good coding practices.
