#include: to use or not to use

case study:
when i discovered php and asp includes to use in my sites as navigation elements they worked perfectly. so, when macromedia introduces the use of AS files as includes in order to centralize our code it was cool… but

it wasn´t really usefull because if i modify my AS file, saved and test my movie it doesn´t work properly. i discover by accident that i must to compile the movie again in order to make my changes work…

so… what is the point of that? what i did wrong?

when i edit a php or asp include all the site is up dated at once. in flash i have to update 2 files… not very usefull. if i must compile my movie again i prefer to put all my code in the movie and rather to use a “external file”.

any toughts?

Thanks.

Ray.
