You could do something like monkey patching UIComponent to include your boilerplate. Another option is to simply have an as file that you include. A third option is to have a class that encapsulates the common functionality, and use composition to add it to your classes (where the classes _have_ a someClass rather than _being_ a someClass). A fourth option is to create a class with all static methods, similar to how the Math class works. HTH; -Amy
