Just found out that you can no longer bind FROM a spark label's text TO some other object. With MX components, this could be done. Looking at the Adobe code, seems like they removed (or forgot) the binding on the text property for Spark. Is there a reason for this change, or is this a bug? This is with the 4.6 SDK.
