Didn't the 'old' compiler (pre-Falcon) translate MXML into intermediate AS and offer the option to safe those intermediate files? I think that the presentation guy used these intermediate files (classes, I'm sure) instead of the actual MXML to get his prototype to work. I'm however not sure if Falcon has a similar option (save AS translation of MXML), so that might not be a option anymore.
