Be careful with that return routing. ATL-LAX-MIA are the same flight number as are MIA-DFW-ICN. You should be OK getting miles for the first two legs since same flight numbers in different directions is pretty common on AA now. But, the MIA-DFW-ICN should only credit as MIA-ICN. The difference isn't that great, but if you need every mile to requalify you need to account for it.

AA credits direct flights with a single flight number as a single flight. AA has done a lot of flight realigning due to the merger, so there are a lot more direct flights that this applies to (e.g. West Coast US to Europe and East Coast US to Asia).

10/28/14 AMERICAN AIRLINES 4294 Y MIA IND 1,021 1,021 2,042
10/28/14 AMERICAN AIRLINES 4294 Y IND ORD 177 823 1,000
If they did it as just a single flight I would have just received 1197 EQM vs 1521 and 2394 RDM vs 3042.
I had always heard that they just gave the direct flight mileage so was pleasantly surprised to see both flights in my summary.
