[jira] [Commented] (FLEX-33404) Compile error with Apache Flex 4.9 and not Adobe 4.1

["Maxime Cowez (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33404?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13581169#comment-13581169 ] 

Maxime Cowez commented on FLEX-33404:
-------------------------------------

When I compile your test case with 4.9 the compiler gives me a clear message of what's wrong with the code:
The skin part type 'spark.components:TabBar' must be assignable to '*'.

So you just replace that '*' with 'Object' and it'll compile just fine.
That said, I would tend to be more specific when defning the types of SkinParts: if you have absolutely no idea what kind of visual component your skinpart will be, the most generic interface is IVisualElement.

> I'm trying to build a project that is fine with the Adobe 4.1A SDK using the Apache 4.9 SDK, but we have a Skin that says
>     <fx:Metadata>
>         [HostComponent("com.ev.global.view.components.Dashboard")]
>     </fx:Metadata>
> Adding CDATA inside the Metadata doesn't appear to change things. 
> Attached is a reproducible test case - this compiles out of the box with the Adobe 4.1 compiler, but throws an error with the Apache 4.9 release.
