Known Issues

Adobe Flash Builder Integration

Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 and Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 both contain a bug where,
when generating the .mxml file for a new project that uses Apache Flex 4.10.0
and Spark Application, Flash Builder will incorrectly insert the attribute:

layout="absolute"

This results in a compile error in the new project. The remedy is to simply
remove the errant attribute.

The following wiki page has been set up to contain the latest news on Adobe's
attempt to correct this problem:
