The .mxml files get translated into .as files of the same name. So basically you then have 2 index.as files... which obviously is going to give you problems.

I use code-behind on pages with lot of code, since I don't want a mess: On index.mxml I have the script block containing th epath to the actionscript file (not as class): <mx:Script source="index.as" /> My question is: Why doesn't Flex Builder allow to name the .mxml and .as page using the same name? Does this happen only with files in subdirectories (?). Because the index.mxml <--> index.as (in root) works ok, but some other files cause me problems, so I have to add some extra characters in it's name, e.g.: MainView.mxml <--> MainView_.as Thanks..
