It's a separation of code where in the MXML file you have the visual elements, and on the Actionscript class you have the logic of the components. It might be too much for the main application, but as your code gets bigger and more components are added, some orchestration between them will most probably happen in the main file. So having the visual elements apart of the logic is a good thing. Using it for a simple example like this might be too much yea. But then it's good that it triggers discussions like this. A.

Why couldn't this all just be done in the main application tags? Is there a different way to componentize this to use it with MXML? Why is it necessary to build up the skin?
