And, of course, the class library is the same in either, so if you know how to invoke something via MXML, you basically know how to invoke it in AS3 and vice-versa. The basic syntax of both MXML and AS3 can be picked up quite easily by any experienced programmer in a day or so. > I do think there are uses for MXML that are non-visual though, like setting > up a > webservice connection, describing effects (which I guess you could argue is > visual, but it not a "layout" thing) or even loading XML, but for the most > part, > I think you're right.

Yeah, I generally use MXML for WebService, HTTPService, RemoteObject, etc, but they're not really part of the view, it's just what I'm used to. The syntax for doing this just seems to be a bit cleaner to me.
