Users of Apache Flex SDK 4.10.0 (and future releases until this issue is addressed) will experience a bug in Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 and Adobe Flash Builder 4.6) when creating a new project that uses Spark Application. Flash Builder will incorrectly insert the following attribute in the Application tag:

layout="absolute"

This will result in a compile error in the new project. The remedy is to simply remove the errant attribute.

Members of the Adobe Flash Builder team are aware of the problem and investigating ways of correcting the problem in Flash Builder 4.7. It is unlikely that Adobe will address the problem in Flash Builder 4.6 because only Flash Builder 4.7 officially supports Apache Flex SDKs.

This page will be updated to reflect the latest information we can get from the Flash Builder team regarding this issue.

Update: September 4, 2013

Adobe has made a patched .jar available here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/flex-new-project-issue--.html

      All you have to do is delete the layout="absolute" from the file. It shouldn't be in there.

    Auto generated FlexUnit Application classes also suffer the same bug and since they're auto-generated the mentioned workaround do not apply. Unit testing Apache Flex compiled library using FB 4.7 isn't an option for me currently. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

      Adobe has a replacement .jar file. Apache cannot distribute that file. Hopefully the replacement .jar will be available from Adobe soon.

        That Means In New Sdk We Don`t use .jar file .

          I'm not sure what you mean by that. The replacement .jar replaces a .jar file in Flash Builder, not the Apache Flex SDK.

    It might be worth noting the other workaround on this wiki page… if you close flash builder and change the line in flex-sdk-description.xml file that says <version >4.10.0</version> to <version >4.9.0</version>

    This bug stops manifesting.
