Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile this FXG:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<Graphic xmlns:fc="http://ns.adobe.com/flashcatalyst/2009" xmlns:d="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008/dt" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008" version="2.0">
<BitmapImage source="foo.jpg"/>
</Graphic>

Actual Results:
It fails to compile because it is trying to embed foo.jpg.
Add foo.jpg. Now it works.

Expected Results:
This is not legal FXG, according to the spec:

For both [BitmapImage] and [BitmapFill] elements, the source image data is defined using the source attribute. The source attribute is a required attribute.

The source attribute is specified using an @Embed directive. The format is:

source="@Embed('<imageFileName>')"

Workaround (if any):
