Fresh Flex Builder Install does not like flash remoting projects
I recently slicked the development environment on one of my laptops and reinstalled everything; ColdFusion, Flex Builder, Eclipse etc.
While testing, I found I could create and run basic projects but creating a Flash Remoting project does not work.
Even if the new application contained simply an mx:application tag and a mx:panel tag, it would throw two runtime errors:
Error #1VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of subtopic in mx.messaging.Consumer.

Tom and João pointed me to a hotfix for FlexBuilder at http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402000. After installation of the hotfix, the errors went away. I should have looked for a hotfix, but since I downloaded a fresh binary, I thought I was above the law! No one is above the law, are they?

Holy mackerel! Thank you so much for pointing me here. I had already been through this once again a long time ago... but, like you, I figured since I JUST downloaded the "most recent" code for Flex Builder, I would not have to apply a hot fix. Ha! Steven Seagal made sure "no one is above the law" back in 1988. I should have not had to learn this lesson!
