Here's a few questions concerning Mounted Combat.

1. If the character has Ride-By Attack Feat, does the mount receive an attack of opportunity for moving through the enemy's space?

2. If you have Mounted Skirmisher Feat, can you move before and after attacking with the character's full attack action?

3. If you Have Mounted Skirmisher AND Ride-By Attack feat, can you move before and after your full round of attacks or before and after EACH attack?

4. Does a Scout (APG page 134) gain the benefit of Sneak Attack when his mount moves 10 feet or more?

5. Does the Scout Retain the Skirmisher Ability with Ranged weapons while mounted?

6. If The Scout has a ranged weapon and is mounted, can he gain Sneak attack damage on ALL attacks in a surprise round if his mount 10 feet or more?

7. Does the rider of a mount retain the effects of Mobility if he moves through threatened areas on his Mount?

8. If a mount has the mobility feat, does the RIDER benefit from it?

9. Does Spirited Charge feat apply with the full attack action given by Mounted Skirmisher?

10. Does any of this even matter with mounted archery when making ranged attacks from a mount?

Transformative:

This ability can only be placed on a
melee weapon. A transformative weapon alters its shape
at its wielder’s command, becoming any other melee
weapon of the same general shape and handedness; the
weapon’s categorization as simple, martial, or exotic
is irrelevant. For example, a Medium transformative
longsword can take the shape of any other Medium
one-handed melee weapon, such as a scimitar, f lail, or
trident, but not a Medium light or two-handed melee
weapon (such as a Medium short sword or a Medium
greatsword). It can even take the shape of comparable
weapons of dif ferent size categories. For example, a
Small greatsword is a two-handed slashing weapon for
a Small character, but is a one-handed slashing weapon
for a Medium character, which is very similar to a
Medium longsword; a Small transformative greatsword
can become an actual Medium longsword, usable by
a Medium creature without the –2 penalty for using a
weapon of the wrong size. The weapon retains all of its
abilities, including enhancement bonuses and weapon
properties, except those prohibited by its current shape.
For example, a keen transformative weapon functions
normally in the form of a piercing or slashing weapon,
but cannot use the keen property when in the shape of
a bludgeoning weapon. When unattended, the weapon
reverts to its true shape.

My question is this: Does the weight have to be the same for each weapon it could transform into? In the example, the three weapons listed do not weigh the same, but the difference is minor (Flail is 1 lb heavier than the others).
