Thank you Ktu.
That is what I was looking for.
I'd say the problem with asking questions like this is that you're
getting answers to questions you shouldn't be asking at this stage of
your AS3 experience. While you may get a "technical" answer, you miss
out completely on the real question - in what circumstances would using
a private class be of benefit (and why), and when should you not use a
private class?
A book will teach you more than the technicalities.
To put this into context, about the only time I have ever used private
classes is to enforce the creation of singleton classes. They are hardly
an essential and I have written a ton of AS3 code over the years.
You also need to get a good grasp of design patterns - particularly MVC.
You can't get an overall view of best practice by asking these very
particular questions when you don't have a bigger context to understand
where a language feature fits well and where it doesn't.
The Moock book is popular and very detailed. I have it. Personally I
think it's a bit heavy for a beginner to AS3 and I'd recommend (again)
"learning actionscript 3" as a gentler start before tackling the Moock book.
This list can give you specific answers, but you really need the bigger
picture.

you can have public class, internal class (limited to package), and you can
make pseudo private classes by declaring a class in the same file as
another class, but outside the package.
the main reason you write 'public class' is because the _default_ is
internal. if you simply say class MyClass {} it is treated as internal.

Thank you John. Yes, I have already watched some really good tuts on
gotoandlearn and plan to watch more when I start working on my project.
My book is from lynda.com too. Going to invest in Moocks book as
suggested earlier as well. Just need to gen some funds. :)

Excellent training tutorials on tons of software. Very in-depth, but you
do pay for it.
If you know AS2, check out www.gotoandlearn.com. Many free tutorials
on specific tasks, but you'll see them working and their AS3 code, so you
can start making the correlation between what is different in 2 versus 3.
