Q: 

Flex MXMLC Ant task steals the window focus

Has anyone noticed the following behavior building Flex programs using the mxmlc ANT task (running in the background): as the MXMLC task starts, it steals the window focus from whatever application is currently running, and then gives it back again! This is extremely disruptive.

Is there a way to run the MXMLC task "headless" so it doesn't interact at all with the window system?

I'm running on Mac OS X (10.5.8, if that matters), and Flash 4.0.1 (although the behavior existed on 3.x as well).

Thanks!

Mark
