Well, not exactly. AFAIKT, the -mx flag works like a combination of your -*
exclude* "mx.*" and a special version of -keep, that keeps only classes in
the mx package.

It would be nice if one could supply a list of classes or packages not to
remove from the swf (or recompile) as a parameter to -keep, though. This
way, -mx could be simulated by
-*exclude* "mx.*" -keep "mx.*"
(or whatever similar syntax, a one-entry-per-line file would work best, I
suppose)

cheers,

Is that possible in the 1.11 release?  Or something similar?  Without
something like this, I can't use mCom components or Xray in the library etc
