[flexcoders] Re: .as vs .mxml best practices

It's as simple as

mx:Script source=includes/Sample3Script.as/

All it does is include the AS file at that point. Everything inside the MXML 
file is available to the AS file - no custom events necessary.

 keep my sanity and to take advantage of the outline feature of the IDE.
 I may also be able to use it (or subclass it) to handle the similar
 actions on a List.
 
  
 
 I'm not really certain of the right way to go about that and to be
 able to reference all the id's within the remaining mxml.  Similarly, I
 would like to be able to listen for the events from the mxml without
 having to define and dispatch custom events.
 
  
 
 This is probably basic stuff for those of you who are really into the
 technology, but I could use a jump start - even a link to a reasonable
 tutorial would be fine.
 
  
 
 FWIW I'm using 4.1 and plan to upgrade to 4.5 as soon as I get some
 breathing room in my deadlines.
 
  
 
 Thanks in Advance,

[Sells, Fred]

Well I don't know whether to be happy because it is so simple or
embarrassed because I didn't know it L
