Mike, just out of interest... is there any way to get the SDK compiler to compile as quickly as the compiler in flex builder? Using flex builder beta 1 as a guide it would take 1 second or so in flex builder but up to 20 seconds with the command line mxmlc compiler... quite a difference. I was half way through developing an app with beta 1 on a mac (which worked - sort of - on os x eclipse) and since beta 2 it has got a whole lot tougher/slower.
