Description

When sorting an ArrayCollection based on an string property using the spark.collections.Sort class, it throws a TypeError #2007.

It works when using the mx.collections.Sort instead of spark.collections.Sort.
It works when sorting on a numeric property (even with spark.collections.Sort).

The only case where it crashes is :

• Mac Os,
• Google Chrome with PepperFlash
• sorting on string property.

All other cases works :

• Windows (even with PepperFlash on Chrome),
• All browsers (even Chrome on Mac but without PepperFlash)
• sorting on numeric property (even Chrome on Mac with PepperFlash)

EDIT : It also crashes on Linux with Flash Player 11.2.202.261
