Flash compiler again

We have few fellow developers developing flash application over network. And some not understandable compiler behavior arises from time to time – changes made in class (*.as) files does not effect compiled *.swf files. It seems that classes are taken from cache. Actually the compiler creates corresponding .aso files for each class in this directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\yourUserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\\Configuration\Classes\aso

Compiler uses the Timestamps of the ASO file to determine if class needs to be recompiled. So ones, developing application over the network can run into this issue if clocks are not synchronized.

More about this issue.
