Hi I hope some of you could help me with two question about Flash authoring

1.
I have som Flash files where I #include one/some .as files
I've noticed that each time I change some code in the .as file, I have to compile the .fla file again so the changes in the .as file work. Am I right? or am I missing something ???
If so, that is not so intuitive

2.
Is it possible to batch script things in Flash( MX)
Like create some DOS commands which eg. compiles all .fla files in a directory, so I don't need to go through each individual files in the Flash IDE

hope you can provide me with answers to these questions
and thanks in advance

regards
T
