I believe I’ve mentioned before how I really like Flex but it has annoyed me that the ActionScript is mixed with the MXML on in a module and this can mean big modules that are hard to work with.
What was missing was something akin to a script tag on a HTML page so you can create common script files saving duplication while simultaneously making it easier to see what is going on with your modules.
It turns out that I should have been a little more observant. The solution is so bloody simple I’ve been kicking myself for the past few days.
To include an external ActionScript file you simply need to add a line similar to the following:
[cc lang="actionscript"]
[/cc]
The file will then be included in the module and you can keep your script and pages cleaner and more efficient.
Doh!
