Ok guys, so w/ Brian's suggestion I was able to get the compiler to
recognize the namespaces w/o changing the initial structure. I'm more
than halfway there, but I still get some issues w/ image locations.
Several components have embedded images that are located in an
"assets" directory one level below the "main" directory. So, for
example, one component contains a Link w/
icon="@Embed('assets/logo.swf')". This compiles fine for the main
app.mxml, but I get a "resource not found" error when trying to hit
one of the test apps. Do I have to create a variable at the app level
that prepends a prefix like "../../" for test apps and a blank string
for the main level app? Is there a better way to handle this, maybe a
default image root property?
Thanks,
Jaime
