Nice post - I agree with most of what you have said... although just a
comment on this one, it seems like Flash may need to become two apps in
the long run. Or rather, EXPLICITLY become two apps
It already has: Flash CS3 and Flexbuilder. Adobe is working on other
tools too to ease the workflow
Maybe THREE Apps then ;)
Flash CS3, FlexBuilder, and some sort of Animation/Timeline focused

It is a proper thing to declare your variables at the top of your class ans
import the according classes.
And instanciate the variabele at the location it is needed.
This keeps memory use minimized and scope guaranteed.

You set it to number and lateron you the name.
You don't have to give it a name, because Flash does this for you.
If you use ev.target it gives you the correct instance name.

external source (like an XML config file), but if it's a minor thing to
have it in the class (which it often is, you don't need to take the time
