Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to bind to a property on FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication

Actual Results:
You will receive a warning that "Data binding will not be able to detect assignments to 'topLevelApplication'."

Expected Results:
I don't want to see this warning. That binding still works. This isn't necessarily a common use case, but comes into play when an application is storing their application's data model in their main application. For example, in the workflow application, for simplicity, a data array is place in the application and used as a dataProvider for a list inside a View. Since topLevelApplication isn't bindable, I receive the warning.

Workaround (if any):
