Description

When working on upgrading our application from Flex 3.3 to Flex 4.12.1, I noticed that in Flex 4.12.1 (4.11.0 too), binding to xml.@someattribute works, but binding to this.xml.@someattribute doesn't. Both works in Flex 3.3.

In Flex 4.12.1, if binding to xml.@someattribute first, then binding to this.xml.@someattribute works.
