Extending the Module class in ActionScript is the same as using the <mx:Module> tag in an MXML file. You extend this class if your module interacts with the framework. To see an example of an ActionScript class that extends the Module class, create an MXML file with the root tag of <mx:Module>. When you compile this file, set the value of the keep-generated-actionscript compiler option to true. The Flex compiler stores the generated ActionScript class in a directory called generated, which you can look at.

If your module does not include any framework code, you can create a class that extends the ModuleBase class. If you use the ModuleBase class, your module will typically be smaller than if you create a module that is based on the Module class because it does not have any framework class dependencies.
