-----------------------------------

             Summary: NullPointerException when setting property of <fx:Object/> with binding
                 Key: FLEX-35323
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-35323
             Project: Apache Flex
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Falcon
    Affects Versions: Apache FalconJX 0.7.0
            Reporter: Josh Tynjala


Using the following code:

{code:title=src/InternalError.mxml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<js:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
	xmlns:js="library://ns.apache.org/flexjs/basic"
	xmlns:local="*">
	<fx:Declarations>
		<fx:Object test="{MY_CONST}"/>
	</fx:Declarations>
	<js:initialView>
		<js:View>
			<js:Label id="label" text="Hello World" x="100" y="100" click="event.target"/>
		</js:View>
	</js:initialView>
	<js:valuesImpl>
		<js:SimpleCSSValuesImpl />
	</js:valuesImpl>
	<fx:Script><![CDATA[
		public static const MY_CONST:String = "hello";
	]]></fx:Script>
</js:Application>
{code}

Compile with js/bin/mxmlc:

{code}
mxmlc src/InternalError.mxml
{code}

The following error will be included in the output:

{code}

{code}

Can reproduce with both FlexJS 0.7.0 and the latest 0.8.0 release branch nightly.

Simply setting the property without binding does not produce a NullPointerException.

Instead of using <fx:Object/>, if you switch to the following code, there is no NullPointerException:

{code}
<js:Label text="{MY_CONST}"/>
{code}

With that in mind, it may have something to do with the fact that the Object class is dynamic.
