What I usually do is load in the assets swf through the MTASC generated swf and use it as the root in the movieclip hierarchy. By this I mean all movieclips created by my MTASC generated swf are descendants of the asset swf. By doing so you can access all symbols in the asset swf through attachMovieClip and you don't have to mess around with injection. An added benefit is that you can display a preloader on the asset swf which is quite likely large.

Ok, I installed Eclipse, spent a better part of a day downloading plugins and configuring everything. I'm using Ant tasks to compile with MTASC and send it to the standalone player. I don't see the need for swfmill, since I own Flash. My plan was to create vector graphics and any timeline stuff in flash (mostly done by my wife) and then move to Eclipse to write the code. But now I'm not at all sure how to structure a project. I read about several methods, but am at a loss as to how to proceed. What's best practise? Can I use one swf as a symbol library and compile it with the class files and a 'main' entrypoint? Do I inject all the code into the library swf? I've been experimenting with a class that's tied to a symbol in an .fla and would like to switch over to the new workflow, if I can figure out what that is. The symbol is a movieclip with nested movieclips. The class extends MovieClip and uses an init function rather than a constructor. The code I've been using to test is in the .fla but the class file is external. How can I restructure this to include Eclipse in the workflow?
