I think you are flushing out the assumptions made in the framework about what is in global. There are probably fewer assumptions in Flex 3 than in Flex 2. I noticed that in Flex 3 we protect against borderClass being null. I don't see any protection in Flex 3 about not having a global selector, so I'm surprised you got past that in Flex 3.
You'll have to start adding selectors back into global until Flex 2.x runs again. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ben.clinkinbeard Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 1:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: SWC compiled against Flex 2 SDK only usable in Flex 3 projects bump --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "ben.clinkinbeard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Alex, > > No, I didn't because I had no idea I was supposed to.
