Error #1065: Variable is not defined. with Flex 4 Application

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Add FlexTracker mxml component to an existing Flex 4 project
2. Configure the project to not use RSL but use merged code
3. Run the project/application

Then we got Error #1065: Variable is not defined and the application is not 
running at all.

• Merged into: #66

I found a *temporary" fix for this issue. In the constructor of FlexTracker:

change 
var appclass:Object = getDefinitionByName( "mx.core::Application" );
_app = appclass.application;

into
_app = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication;        

This can fix the issue, but I don't think it's the best way, because the 
component will then stop working with Flex 3 Project.

yes we are aware of this problem see issue 66 (and the patch).

feel free to fix it as you want in your code, but for our case
we can not use directly "FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication"
as it would create a hard dependency on FlexGlobals, and
so people not using Flex then would be stuck.
