Newbie to iPhone packager

Question

I am using Flash CS5 with the current iPhone packager, to take an existing project that i made for AIR for android. Two issues..  One, i know that the publishing time for iPhone in flash is quite slow, as i did a test run with a completely empty fla and it took a minute or two.  But when i went to publish my project after i imported all my classes and such, it went on for 6 hours with out ever completing.  I checked my task manager and it did NOT say that flash was not responding.. but when i hit cancel, flash crashed. 
The other problem is that when i did a test (ctrl+enter) i got a bunch of errors from one of the classes i have been using.  These errors only happen with the project set to iPhone and not in any other project setting.. the class is below with the lines that caused the errors commented out..

I have started going through my code on the main fla line by line in an effort to try and figure out what is actually causing my fla to freeze when publishing..
the problem seems to happen when i ad this line of code:
var myScanner:FaceDetector_Camera=new FaceDetector_Camera();
mind you, if i comment out that line and still leave the line that imports the FaceDetector_Camera class it publishes relatively quickly, but as soon as i ad the line mentioned above we fail.. any ideas?
