OK, pushed a bunch of changes to hopefully make it more easy/clear when creating components.
I added IBeadView, IBeadController and IBeadLayout interfaces to go along with the already existing IBeadModel. The CSS makes it more clear now as to what parts make up the component. I renamed view beads to end with "View". Lots of view interfaces were eliminated. Only interactive components that have a separate controller will need a custom interface to describe the contract with the view. Others can just use IBeadView. Removed initModel and initSkin methods. The lifecycle is now much simpler: instantiate, set properties and beads then add to the display list. We're still using child.addToParent(parent), but I am going to experiment next with changing over to parent.addElement(child).

The main goal is to reduce the number of calls when creating components in AS. -Alex
