Hi Alex,
Everyone here at Prominic would like to see JIRA being used more for Flex development to track issues. We are very glad to hear that the nightly 0.8.0 build solved the issue Pan reported. This has apparently happened before -- where we have spent > 1 day determining something was a bug, and then another couple of days to re-write code to work around the bug. This time would have been better spent had we known the bug was already on a list and being worked out. As a community, we are up against a wide variety of frameworks. Known bugs should be in bug database. I am sure Google's AngularJS, Microsoft's Xamarin, Facebook's ReactJS or any other mature cross-platform UI SDK are tracking bugs, and FlexJS needs to be doing the same. The overall Apache Flex JIRA appears to be here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:summary-panel and the FlexJS 0.8 specified project is here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX/fixforversion/12338251/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:version-issues-panel Are we not looking in the right spot, or is the community just not properly documenting bugs? Can Prominic staff get logins to JIRA to help report these? Thank you, Justin Hill My Apache Flex community contribution is working on the open source Moonshine-IDE.com for FlexJS. ----- Forwarded by Justin M.
