Maybe I'm not understanding what Peter wrote, but I think he also said
that it worked once the main app matched the project name. IOW, if you
create a FlexProject called OmTest, then when you copy the code from
DataBindingTest.mxml, you should copy that into your OmTest.mxml. You
should have to fix up the MyController.as and a few other places that
assume the name of the app. Then MXMLC should compile that when you save
everything. But then you click on OmTest.mxml in the Package Explorer and
run the external tool and it should replace the SWF in the bin-debug. And
then when you choose Debug As, it shouldn't run MXMLC again, it should
just launch the SWF.
I wonder if there is a file date problem fooling MXMLC into running again.
