Alex Harui commented on FLEX-35069:
-----------------------------------
I think you are saying it works in MXMLC.
I'm guessing the Falcon parser wasn't written to handle it since it isn't in
here:

Parsing bugs are a pain. I'd prefer not to have to deal with it unless we see
that others are using it.

> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FalconJX
> Affects Versions: Apache FalconJX 0.6.0
> Reporter: Harbs
>
> The following code fails:
> var catalog_item = xml..('http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009')::catalog_item[0];
> The compiler gives the following message:
> [mxmlc] Error: '..' is not allowed here
> This should be valid E4X. I'm not sure what it is about this expression which
> is failing. The following does seem to be accepted:
> var script:XML = xml..script[0].children()[0];
