Hi-
I installed the Apache FlexJS Nightly using the SDK Installer and adjusted the
project compiler to the new SDK, but I am still seeing failures with the
handleOwnProperty method. I will try to do some additional debugging tomorrow
to see where the problem is coming from.
In the meantime I used the work around you mentioned and got a component
working correctly in Firefox. However, I am getting a syntax error in Internet
Explorer when creating the XML object (the same function works in Firefox, both
using the same XML file). Specifically the issue is at this line in XML.js:
var /** @type {string} */ errorNS =
org.apache.flex.utils.Language.string(parser.parseFromString('<',
'application/xml').getElementsByTagName("parsererror")[0].namespaceURI);
In Firefox this line works without issue, but in IE I see a syntax error in the
debugger.
I did a little research and it seems this may be an issue specific to IE11,
although it is a little unclear to me how best to fix it.

Let me know if I can provide any additional info.
Thanks,

There are quite a few fixes to XML in particular in the nightly, so I would
recommend that you use the nightly anyway.
If you need help getting the nightly, let us know.
Thanks,
