Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile and run attached MXML file (or run SWF)

Actual Results:
the <mx:String> and <mx:Number> generate output and display on the display list.

Expected Results:
<mx:String> and <mx:Number> shouldnt generate any output.

Workaround (if any):
Wrap the <mx:String> and <mx:Number> in a <Declarations> tag (see workaround.mxml):

<Declarations>
<mx:String id="lorem">The quick brown fox jumped... Wait, why is this visible?</mx:String>
<mx:Number id="zip">90120</mx:Number>
</Declarations>
