Flash Builder 4.7 Embed Error

[Nabren]

I am trying to convert a Flash Builder 4.5 project to Flash Builder 4.7. I am having a lot of problems and eventually gave up and deleted the project files and just re-made the projects from scratch.

However, I am having problems embedding an asset. This line works:

[Embed(source = "image.png", mimeType="image/png")]

This line:

[Embed(source = image.png", mimeType="image/png", compression="true")]

Genererates the following errors:

I am trying to make the project of type "ActionScript Library Project" using the Flex 4.6 SDK overlayed with AIR SDK 3.5 however without including the AIR library files.

[Nabren]

Here is some more clear info:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use the Embed tag above a class variable to embed a png

[Embed(source = "Image.png", mimeType = "image/png", compression="true")]

private static var _imageClass:Class;

NOTE: This occurs with or without specifying the mimeType as long as compression is being set to "true"

2. Save/Compile the Code

3. Note the compiler errors:

Actual Results:

Setting compression to true generates a compiler error.

Expected Results:

I expected to be able to compress embedded images with Flash Builder.

Workaround (if any):

None.

Additonal Notes:

Trying to explicitly set compression to false:

[Embed(source = "Image.png", mimeType = "image/png", compression="false")]

private static var _imageClass:Class;

Generates the following error:

The attribute compression can't be used with the mime type: image/png

Switching the mimeType to jpeg in this case:

[Embed(source = "Image.png", mimeType = "image/jpeg", compression="false")]

private static var _imageClass:Class;

Generates the following error:

The attribute compression can't be used with the mime type: image/jpeg

Anyone else get these results when trying to compress an embedded image?

[Nabren]

Also, just note that specifying a quality:

[Embed(source = "Image.png", mimeType = "image/png", compression="true", quality="90")]

private static var _imageClass:Class;

Changes the errors to:
