You might wonder sometimes why import statements aren’t automatically inserted in MXML Script blocks. This is actually a feature in Flash Builder that uses the set of implicit imports defined by the MXML compiler.

If you add “-keep” to your additional compiler arguments, you can see the .as files generated for your MXML files. You’ll find the generated files in bin-debug/generated/<component name>-generated.as. Here’s the output for a Flex 4 MXML file.
