I had this problem once and it turns out that when you are using Flex builder
it does some "magic" to the build path. This does not happen when you build
with ant and I had to move some files around so that mxmlc could find
everything. I believe that mxmlc can only see the src path and its sub
directories, someone correct me if I am wrong.
