It's possible to declare package-level functions. For example:
MyApp.mxml
----------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
<http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> ">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function clickHandler():void
{
doSomething();
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button click="clickHandler()"/>
</mx:Application>
doSomething.as
--------------
package
{
public function doSomething():void
{
trace("doSomething");
}
}
However, you can declare only one such public function per file so this
isn't typically done.
My advice is to re-orient yourself as to what constitutes a "normal
helper". Since Flex is strongly class-oriented, the best practice for
creating helper functions in Flex is to make them static methods of
helper classes. This is what we do in the mx.utils package of the
framework.
