Hi Malik,
I have been able to reproduce your error.
The ‘<?xml … ‘ part
needs to start at exactly the 1st row and the 1st column
of your .mxml file. If you add a space or a new line before it, the error you
mention below will appear.
I think we were a little bit put on the
wrong foot thinking your problem was a runtime error, but it appears to be a
compile time error. Try to be more specific next time.
Cheers,
Franck
Hi,
I get this error with that code:
"The processing instruction target matching
"[xX][mM][lL]" is not
allowed."
I copied that exact code into flex builder 2 alpha
version and I get
that error message.
I wonder do I not have it setup correctly.
