Getting SimpleChat.mxml example running in the command-line

Question

Hi,
I am working on getting a connection to cocomo working. Unfortunately, the documentation is highly unclear about how to get this running from the command-line(not to mention the example file in flash builder 4 crashes when run...).
Directly run, this is the error I'm getting:
$ /Developer/flex_sdk_4/bin/mxmlc cocomo_load.mxml
Loading configuration file /Developer/flex_sdk_4/frameworks/flex-config.xml
/Users/vlion/Documents/work/flixn/repos/vss/sandbox/cocomo_load.mxml(72): Error: Could not resolve  to a component implementation.
/Users/vlion/Documents/work/flixn/repos/vss/sandbox/cocomo_load.mxml(84): Error: Could not resolve  to a component implementation.
When adding --show-actionscript-warnings=true --strict=true, I get the same warning.
I have afcs.swc in the directory I'm running this from.
However, when run with --library-path=., I receive a slew of "could not find resource bundle for local en_US" warnings. Setting the local to en_US doesn't help the matter.
Reviewing the discussions I found online, this appears to be related to namespace issues. However, it is unclear what the namespace issue is.
What, exactly, is the problem, and what needs to be set to resolve it?

Hi,
Thanks for bringing this in notice to us. Since we were not building the examples in command-line with flex 4,  we didn’t see this problem earlier.
The problem happened because our LCCS components were built with halo component and namespace in flex 3. So, when you are using the spark framework and flex 4, if you do not mention that you also need the halo theme , our components won't work. Flex Builder takes care for it but while doing command-line compiling you need to mention the theme specifically. If you run your current script with Flex 3 sdks, it would have built fine. This has nothing to do with our namespaces or using locale.
I am attaching a quick ant build script which I used to build our DefaultPods example with Flex 4 sdks( this script file is in same folder as DefaultPods.mxml).
You can see the build  script and make any changes ( since I used for windows) and let us know if everything works fine for you.
Thanks again for bringing it to our notice. We will make sure that this gets added to the docs in next-release.
Thanks

Here is the Ant Script
