I'm specifically talking about the https://royale.apache.org/asdoc and I'm
using mostly emulation components. This is on the latest chrome browser on
desktop and mobile (android). If there's another browser I should be using
please let me know. Here's the errors I see all the time. Honestly never
checked the console till now, that's on me.

Right now I don't. Here are my assumptions.
Blue properties/methods are implemented
Red properties/methods are NOT implemented
Green properties/methods added specifically for Royale?

An example:
mx:UIComponent the docs show the public function of
"invalidateParentSizeAndDisplayList()" as blue
which I'm assuming means implemented. When I dig into the source code I see
that this is actually a protected function and a trace indicating this is
not implemented.

All that to say, I'm very willing to help with documentation and be the
change I wish to see. I guess I'm just stressing the importance of this.
