The MXML compiler does a bit more than that. You can look at it
yourself by using the -keep-generated-actionscript compiler switch.
But here's the additional stuff:
import mx.core.mx_internal;
var acs:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("Alert");
if (!acs.mx_internal::effects)
acs.mx_internal::effects = [];
acs.mx_internal::effects.push("creationCompleteEffect");
I don't know why there isn't a straighforward way of registering an
effect, but you could use this hack if you really must.
