>>> -include-libraries will force entire SWCs to be linked in. (And Beta 3 will have -include, which will do it for individual definitions.)<<<
We can move our classes to external library and it will be automatically linked. The reason I've asked this question is that in "Flex Library Project", we can control which classes to include in SWC file (Properties | Flex Build Path | Classes dialog). But default "Flex Project" doesn't provide this tab, and I expect my custom classes created in this project will be automatically included to the final app SWF. But project classes/components are not included till explicitly referenced in application code. (It's possible that I missed something, and this functionality is available...). >>> A better path might be to dynamically load another SWF that contains the definitions that you want to have "soft" references to.<<< It's interesting idea. But current Flex release doesn't provide good external libraries support as for me. Some RSL initialization code is statically injected by mxlmlc to the application SWF file during compilation process ( binding initialization, remote class registration etc). It makes impossible to update library binaries without recompilation of application SWF. Each time shared library is updated, we need to recompile all applications as well. Also all dynamic classes declared in RSL must be explicitly referenced by main application,(as otherwise these classes will be loaded without initialization). For the same reason we are unable to load "unknown" library at runtime and dynamically create class without problem (I mean classes with complex UI, remoting code etc). Ideally it would be better if "compc" stored all initialization information in SWC binaries. So loader could access it at runtime and automatically initialize external library on demand.
