best-practices

I'm working on a project in Flash CS4/AS3 and I have a document class set up but I am wondering about using that, as opposed to frame-based scripting. Most of what I have seen so far deals with how to create them, but doesn't offer much about why or when to use them.

I know I can also pull in other classes beyond the document class but, again, why and when?

Could I get some input from you fine people out there on usage/best practice, etc?

Thanks
