I actually deleted this post, I didn't want a bunch of flex fans to gang up on me.
I just hope the powers that be can read through the lines and see how frustrating this issue is. Everyday I defend the virtues of Flash. I have to tell you though, on this point, the naysayers of Flash that mutter bs like 'Flash isn't a proper development framework' score a point one for their side of court on this issue. I'll be a very happy person and do my victory dance when this issue if totally resolved and make sure that I point out to them this issue has been fixed.
