If you want to reach Apache Flex developers, you'll need to use
dev@flex.apache.org rather than d...@myfaces.apache.org.

Since you posted this publicly on the MyFaces development list, I'm
going to assume you meant for your Apache Flex  message to also be
posted publicly, and I am cc'ing dev@flex.apache.org as well.
