I think this was the problem .actionScriptProperties
Had this:
<applications/>
Instead of:
<applications>
<application path="MainView.mxml"/>
</applications>
No idea how that happened, or if I have it solved all the way, but if
that was it...man I feel dumb...
Thanks for the assistance, that really did help me come at it from a
different angle.
I'll post up any further progress.
