Some progress on the unit tests:

I got the Core tests to run on the swf side when doing a full build. In order 
to do that I needed to move the running of the tests until after Basic finished 
building so the test app could be built.

We’re going to need to do something similar with the Maven build.

The Testing project is compiling and is usable (on a basic level) too. Tests 
should run with both a SWF and JS target. The SWF target uses FlexUnit, while 
the JS target uses Josh’s implementation.

I also migrated the Core tests to use the new project and that is building as 
well.

I still need to add the bits that Greg wrote and wire up some JS tests.

Hopefully I’ll make some more progress tomorrow.
