title: What overhead is there of using an MXML file in Flex vs. a plain actionscript class?
body: <p>I find it much easier to write MXML classes with embedded Script than trying to make an actionscript file.</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering however what kind of overhead there is of using an MXML file - in terms of file size. I'm not especially concerned about performance, but if that is relevant would be interested in any findings.</p>
  
  <p>Obviously I'm talking about UI components that have layout. MXML is MUCH easier to visualize and modify but I'm unclear exactly what it compiles down too. I'm hoping there is a negligible difference.</p>
