Description

Reproduces in Flex 3.0.x branch rev 3.2.0.2721 and later

Steps to reproduce:
1. Unzip the attachment.
2. In the command line, compile custom AS classes into a library swc.
$ compc -o custom.swc -incremental=true -sp=TestComponents -ic custom.MyInputBox custom.MyPanel

3. In the command line, compile the mxml app and add custom.swc in the library-path
$ mxmlc -incremental=true -library-path+=custom.swc – DisplayApp.mxml

4. Open DisplayApp.swf. You'll see there are 2 text inputs in the panel.

5. Modify TestComponents/custom/MyInputBox.mxml. Uncomment the third form item and save changes.

6. Recompile the swc. The swc should be updated after compile.
$ compc -o custom.swc -incremental=true -sp=TestComponents -ic custom.MyInputBox custom.MyPanel

7. Recompile the mxml app
$ mxmlc -incremental=true -library-path+=custom.swc – DisplayApp.mxml

Actual Results:
\DisplayApp.swf is up-to-date and does not have to be rebuilt.

When you open DisplayApp.swf, it is not updated with the changes in the swc.

Expected Results:
DisplayApp.swf should be recompiled when the swc in its library path changes.

Workaround (if any):
