David,
Is there a particular reason you are maintaining two separate projects? Is
it your intention to share the skins across projects?
One thing you can try to it add your skins directory as a secondary source
root. I'm not sure how to do it in FlashBuilder, but I recall it being
pretty simple.
That would probably solve both problems. But if you attempt to reuse
projectSkin in a third project, you will still have to contend w/references
to possibly non-existent HostComponents that are referenced in Project1.
HTH,
Scott
