In the Creating and extending Flex components manual, the event metadata tag syntax to be:
[Event(name="eventName", type="package.EventType")] If I use that syntax with the quotes around the package name within a metadata tag in and mxml file in FB3, it breaks code hinting. If I remove the quotes, code hinting works and everything compiles correctly. The exception is if the event type is flash.events.Event in which case FB reports an error if I remove the quotes but is happy if I remove the type clause entirely. Am I likely to run into a future version of the compiler that will choke on the missing quotes?
