What are the advantages to connecting an mxml page to an as page
I am curious because I am still trying to figure out how to connect an mxml page to an as page and I was wondering what is the advantage to doing that as opposed to simply putting all the script on the mxml page itself?
Re: [flexcoders] What are the advantages to connecting an mxml page to an as page
Remember, each MXML file is effectively a class. Following OO best practices, each class should do 1 thing, and do it well. There are effectively 3 ways to add ActionScript to a flex app. 1) mx:Script block inline of mxml page. 2) mx:Script source= pointing to .as file, 3) AS Class instantiated in mxml Both one and two compile the script as part of the class created by the mxml file. This is the proper approach for code which belongs as part of the same class as the MXML for that page. Their are times when a separate class is called for. Among the many reasons for this: Encapsulation, Reusabilty, etc. AS classes and MXML files are two approaches for creating custom components. The end result from either is a compiled class. An experience AS2 developer will probably find they have a lot more control over an AS2 class vs. the same class created with MXML.

Additionally, the first two can quickly get you up to the 32k limit, where the class approach will not.
