[Flash Pro] Best way to create multi FLA/SWF AIR project

So I have my main FLA all setup as an AIR project. Great.

Now I want to create another SWF which is called Panel. I've got a separate FLA which is coded to work with the main FLA/AIR project, I include this SWF in the "included files" of the main AIR app, and it all works fine. However, I seem to face two unpleasant options when working in the Panel FLA:

1. Set the target as Flash Player 11.x, and get all sorts of compile errors about missing AIR stuff.

2. Set the target as AIR and end up with a whole separate AIR project with mostly throw-away output (I just care about the SWF, not the app.xml, .air, etc.)

Is there a cleaner way to do this?

Thanks!

I tried adding the airglobal.swc to the project but still compiling the SWF using option 1 above was unable to recognize AIR APIs.

Opetion 2 turns out isn't quite as bad as I though, if I use Test Movie it generates the SWF without the AIR stuff, only the app.xml is generated.
