  • Resolved the mx.controls.Alert issues as well as the other weird build issues by creating a new Flex Library Project from Flash Builder 4.5 and copying over source files one package at a time.  Apparently something got very screwed up when I checked out the library project from svn.
  • Updated the local log and debug log screens to use all spark components including the new spark data grid.  Had a few small issues getting the columns to automatically resize when the datagrid resizes.  Turns out defining no explicit column width results in pretty good automatic sizing and resizing.
  • Spark textinputs and textareas now have self-labeling prompts built in so I quit using the custom ones i wrote and replaced them with the defaults.  Also, the prompts are built in to the skin files so this change broke all my themes.  I went through and fixed all the issues so they would compile again.
  • Moved the last of the projects over to Flex 4.5, compiled and ran.  Most things are working just fine.  Several issues have arisen so far:
    • Custom Tooltips are throwing expections which also breaks the Mac-like task bar
    • AdvancedDataGrid headers have disappeared, no idea why…
    • Should go through and replace all mx.datagrids with spark.datagrids
