Ok ... so now I have some results.

First I had to make Flexmojos build with 4.6.0.23201 as this Suite ran with 
only minor errors (3 failures of 141 Tests), I configured FM to build with the 
4.8.0.1355137. I was expecting trouble with tests that made use of swz files, 
as these are no longer part oft he SDK. However more than 50% of the test 
currently fail. 

This is the most common error:
[ERROR] _TestRunner_mx_managers_SystemManager.as:[25,36] Interface ISWFContext 
was not found.    implements IFlexModuleFactory, ISWFContext

Actually there are so many failures that I haven't found one yet that doesn't 
fail because of this.
The reason for this is that the the testrunner somehow references a class in 
textLayout, which is no longer part of the SDK. I will investigate this and 
post what I find after that is resolved.

The other tests, that don't make use of flexunit seem to run though (Well I 
haven't found one failling test that doesn't use flexunit) ... so I guess this 
is some good news.

thanks for the explanation - IMO such files could be distributed as convenience 
binaries, outside of the release.

My question about trusting that file amounts to "how can people check that an 
fla file does not contain harmful content" - that's the whole point about 
source vs. binary releases. If there's a reasonable way to validate that 
particular fla, and it's only optional and not required to use Apache Flex 
anyway, it can probably stay in the release IMO, but Incubator PMC members 
might think differently.
