I'm confused too. I remember having a similar issue early on when we
were getting the LFC running in swf9, if you
had classes that were not referenced by anyone, then they didn't get
compiled into the app. The dataset tag compiles
into some script that looks like
var mydataset = canvas.lzAddLocalDataset(...);
which because it's a global gets put into it's own file
mydataset.as:
package {
public var mydataset = ....;
}
And then there's nothing traceable from the library "application" that
points to it, because the library
app main class just contains calls to define classes by putting them
into the "lz" object, but it doesn't
mention global vars anyplace.
