accelerated animation demo animations
removed embedded assets to avoid dependency on 'mx.core' library
updated swf version to '17' in ant build xml
updated project for Flash Builder 4.7; changed Preloader configuration

The project can still be opened in FB 4.6, though.

Touch.get(Previous)Location now works when touch target is not on the stage (refs #163)
