flex component compiler parameters

today i need to build a flex swc, so create a new flex lib project and put

compc -source-path . -output bin/MySwc.swc -namespace http://www.mynamespace.com myManifest.xml -include-namespaces http://mynamespace.com

if compile form flex builder, use -namespace http://www.mynamespace.com myManifest.xml -include-namespaces http://mynamespace.com

the myManifest.xml will looks similiar as ( from adobe help sample)

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!-- SimpleManifest.xml -->
<componentPackage>
    <component id="MyButton" class="MyButton"/>

    <component id="MyOtherButton" class="MyOtherButton"/>
</componentPackage>

then in another felx project you want to use the lib

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:myns="http://mynamespace.com">
    <myns:MyButton/>

    <myns:MyOtherButton/>
</mx:Application>

move child from one parent to another - as3

saw it on Flashcoders,Greetz Erik reply "Copy and paste a movieClip?"
here is quote from him:

Yes in AS3 you can move DisplayObjects to other parents without problems.
One thing to note is that you need to remove it from the current display
list before you add it to the other.

Something like this:

parent1.removeChild(theClip);
parent2.addChild(theClip);

i didn't know it, i will give it a try
