     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-27629?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Justin Mclean resolved FLEX-27629.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

Substitute method uses String.replace method. Certain $ combinations have special meaning. Added comment to code explaining how to avoid this ie escape $ with $$.
