Ever wished you could use MXML for laying out your ActionScript views, without having the clunky Flex framework weighing your app down? In this article I'll explain how that's possible, going on to demonstrate how you can modify the MXML preprocessor in the Flex compiler. I'll show you how you can control the exact code that gets generated at compile time, allowing us to implement a cleaner alternative to Flex's data binding.

The article, along with accompanying source files, is available from the github repository.
