Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Custom Attributes
I just tried this with hotfix 2 and it did not work any differently
for me. Can you point me to the example that you saw working so that
I can try it?
Also, how can I verify that I have hotfix 2 installed? The windows
installer was not working (see my other post) so I ended up unzipping
the zip hotfix 2 instead.
