[FlexJS] Switching SDK from 0.7 to 0.8(dev) and rebuild FlexJS project without cleaning will cause runtime error in js mode

[Pan Li]

I had reported this issue earlier, when I reported it last time I thought
it was compiler bug.
It isn't really a bug but I think it is better to report anyway.

To reproduce the problem:
1 Take any project which can work in both 0.7 and 0.8
build it with 0.7
2 Using 0.8(dev) to build and run it in js mode
there will be js runtime error:

TypeError: views.MyInitialView.superClass_.get__MXMLDescriptor is undefined

        .MXMLDescriptor.get

The fix is simple, if you clean the project before build again it will
work.
