Check out the wiki pages for two new command-line tools that we are releasing on Labs:

• Flex Ant tasks — Makes building your large projects much easier with the mxmlc, flex, and html-wrapper custom Ant tasks.

• Flex compiler shell — Compiles Flex apps quicker because it loads the framework classes into memory.
  

Enjoy. Deploy.
