Hi Karl, One: AS3 does allow private classes. Just not as the constructor class of the main file. ( I am not sure if subclasses can have private constructors but everything else can be private )Two: Private classes are a best practice, Internal is also good, public only when necessary to create an api. Hope that helps. I don't know where you are getting your information, but you may want to consider getting a good AS3 book. Rick
