Description

Flex 3 MXML code that used to compile now is generating compiler errors. See associated file ArrayOfColorsMXML.mxml. The code that causes the error is:

<mx:Array id="myDepthColors">
<mx:Object>0xFFCC33</mx:Object>
<mx:Object>0xFFCC99</mx:Object>
<mx:Object>0xCC9900</mx:Object>
</mx:Array>

The compiler errors are:
