OK, so the flex compiler was helpfully trying to tell me what was wrong, but
i was not looking at it's error output, since the SWF9External driver seems
to just discard it.
The flex compiler said
[java] Stray error string from external compiler:
/private/var/folders/xh/xhmdrA41HCKjjiditeqN1k+++TI/-Tmp-/lzswf9/build/explore-nav/LzPreloader.as:
Warning: This compilation unit did not have a factoryClass specified in
Frame metadata to load the configured runtime shared libraries. To compile
without runtime shared libraries either set the
-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries option to true or remove the
-runtime-shared-libraries option.
And so I added in "-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries" to the compiler
command line, and it
worked.
So they question remains, why does the Preloader cause the runtime to
instantiate something from the
"mx.core" package, and why did it not used to do that in earlier version of
the flex compiler and
framework .swc libs.
