Unfortunately, 'case' is a reserved word in ActionScript (like 'class', 'var', 'function', 'if', 'for', 'switch', etc.) and you can't use reserved words as names of object properties. It's worth filing a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex that the compilation error message isn't sufficiently helpful in determining the problem. Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team
