This is a part I didn't even get a chance to get into with 1.5 so im coming kinda late in 2.
In my post you saw the functions that I want to make so I can use them all over without having to use "mx.core.Application.application." every time I use one. Most of them I use in .as files not .mxml files. And the ones I use in the .mxml files I usually use as function calls. Like for a grid column that contains a date, I use the dateFunction parameter and give the function name. I have looked at the interface and class builder "wizards". But didn't really get anywhere with them. I definatly need to optimize as much as I can as the applications I will be working on are going to be extensive in some cases. Can you point me somewhere that shows how to build a "library" that I can use in any code I have by just putting in the import mylib.whatever.*?
