Flash Action Script Error Repository

” declaration must be contained within the <Declarations> tag, since it is not assignable to the default property’s element type ‘mx.core.IVisualElement’.

This is interesting! I pasted code in an ichat window then copied it out and pasted it back into the MXML application file. After that I started getting the error mentioned here. It turns out there are hidden invisible characters that are incompatible with the compiler.

So to fix this problem I had to erase the white space near where the error was. This fixed the problem. NOTE: It may be the error is on the line above or line below where it is being reported.
