I'm hitting the same compiler issue as are other members of my team.
It is truly bizarre. Your suggestion to turn off -strict type checking
worked for me but leaves me nervous about what code is actually being
generated. I've examined the mxmlc generated files with -keep but they
look fine.
In my case the problem reproduces reliably ONLY on clean command line
(ANT) builds. Building clean or incrementally in Flex Builder works fine.
- I've performed tests to eliminate the Java VM version as the culprit
(forced command line builds to use the Flex Builder-installed VM & SDK).
- On one machine running Windows Vista my app (Picnik) builds w/o
errors. The builds that fail are on XP.
The class the compiler is having trouble with (NoTipTextInput) derives
from a custom class TextInputPlus, which derives from mx:TextInput.
Here's where it gets really crazy: If I change NoTipTextInput to
derive from TextInput directly the compile succeeds. But if I have it
derive from an EMPTY (no members) class TextInputPlus which in turn
derives from TextInput then it fails. WTF?
(the reported error)
