Flash Builder 4.7 conditional compiling failed

[Guest]

I installed Flash Builder 4.7 on my windows xp machine, and tried to migrate projects from FB 4.6. However in one of my projects I use conditional compiling, but I'm getting errors.For example in FB 4.6 I have this sample code:

public class MyClass{

     CONFIG::DEBUGGING{

          import com.package.SomeClassOnlyForDebugging

     }

     function someFunction():void{

          if (CONFIG::DEBUGGING){

               SomeClassOnlyForDebugging.create();

          }

      }

}

When I compiled it in FB 4.6 everything worked fine. However when I try to compile it in FB 4.7, then I get error on the conditional compiling only inside the function and not on the import statement. The only way I have found to overpass it is to go to Project>Properties>ActionScript Compiler and disable Enable strict type checking. But this is not a permanent solution.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there some other way to do it?

You should to do like that:

function someFunction():void

{

CONFIG::DEBUGGING {

     SomeClassOnlyForDebugging.create();

}

}

without if.

Yes this solves the problem, but I'm loosing my ability to use if,else conditionals. Should I report it as a bug, or the whole scheme of if,else has been dropped?

I would like an answer to this question as well. Having good conditional compilation support is a handy tool to write optimized code.
