[osflash] MTASC and flash

[Rob Bateman]

I'm using mtasc, eclipse and ant to compile source files that i then use as
shared libraries in an fla containing all bespoke skins/content. This allows
a designer to make changes to the root fla without having to worry about
classpaths etc. I don't use swfmill because the root swf has no fla. Because
I have editable graphics in the root fla library, a designer can make
changes and then preview the swf as normal, rather than compiling and then
running another swf to see the resulting changes. Speeds things up no end

btw, if you use base property in the embed tags with a version number
written in to the folder path, you can get round the issue of caching
getting in the way of updates with shared library swfs
