Original issue reported on code.google.com by Me.S...@gmail.com on 5 Sep 2009 at 10:14

I've encountered this issue as well.  MDIWindow generates the 
MDIWindowEvent.RESIZE 
event on resizing.  It's parent class Panel generates ResizeEvent.RESIZE.  It 
appears 
to be caused by MDIWindowEvent.RESIZE and ResizeEvent.RESIZE both being the 
constant 
"resize", which causes confusion in the flex event dispatcher.  Until the code 
is 
fixed to use a unique event name, you can workaround this issue by manually 
adding an 
event listener instead of using binding, i.e. 
this.addEventListener(ResizeEvent.RESIZE, resizeHandler); 
instead of 
<MDIWindow resize="resizeHandler(event)">

Not sure why the mxml generates the error but actionscript doesn't, but there 
you go.
