If you can display a dialogue box asking if the use wants to rebuild the project before the preview (or browser preview) takes place then perhaps a message </div><div><br></div><div>"Changes made since the last project rebuild will not be available in the preview unless you rebuild the project. Rebuild Project Now ? (Yes / No) "</div>

Xerte 3 is trying to use fcsh. It could fail over to mxmlc directly if some tests failed? There's more work to do on this I think. You can check out the Compiler class in the source.</span></p>
