In this post, we'll cover a technique for clean separation of business logic and views/skins in Flex 4. The Flex 4 skinning model allows us to easily create custom skins for our components. This skin can contain all display information, such as how the components appear, fonts, colors, and even visual animations and transitions.

You still create controls in your application within views, however the skinClass determines how those controls get presented to the user. Episode 11: The State of RIA Radio
