It seems you have broad support for this change on this list, and I agree with that sentiment. I can't imagine why they were not made mandatory from the beginning. However, I bet you'd get a different answer if you asked the wider Flex user community. Most of that would be motivated by the "that would break so much of my code" mentality. I still think it's something we should do, but maybe it's something we should do slowly. Greg
