Thanks.  Nice to know it worked for someone else besides me.

The Flex SDK install still uses the old code paths so the fact it works
just means I haven't busted anything.  I hope to finish the ant script for
the Flex SDK later this week.

Other comments in-line.

That should just be a simple change to the -config.xml

Definitely looking for ideas for what to do about this.  I think more
folks have to get this far so they can offer their opinions.

I've seen that too.  Will need to fix before a true release.

The progress step control only allows about 19 steps.  There are a lot of
steps for FlexJS.  I'm definitely open to some other selection of 19
steps.  Or should we update the control to be multi-line or scale down its
boxes to show more steps?

That's because the log is now effectively the ant output.  Does it need to
be prettier?

Good catch.

Hmm.  It should have forced you to pick a folder with a Flex SDK in it,
and then the script should have worked.  I'll try it again myself.

We could do that.  What do others think?

Should we download packages to some central place?
