Compiling, launching etc. a lot of times during fine layout and look&feel
adjustment is a pain, indeed. In my workflow tend to happen a lot more
often in the final stages of the dev cycle, rather than on the start, when
design view could no longer help out.

The thing that could really help in this workflow would be support for hot
deploy of classes at runtime, so you could (incrementally) compile your
changes, and just reopen the function in the running debug player.
Unfortunately this is not supported by the flash runtime (there was an
indipendent attempt to support it, cannot find the project link ATM). What
about JS output?
