Harbs opened a new issue #96: No error on wrong MXML value type
URL: https://github.com/apache/royale-compiler/issues/96
 
 
   Specifying a simple value for MXML which requires a complex value should cause a compile time error. One case which was just reported (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58068839/how-to-use-graphic-svg-elements-with-apache-royale) is where an int was specified instead of an IFill for a Rect.
   
   That causes the compiled MXML to have an empty array which cannot be resolved to a class at runtime. The runtime error is very opaque to users. A much better user experience would be an error "Expected IFill, but got int instead" with a pointer to the correct location in the MXML.
