Since I looked all over the Adobe forums for help on this one and didn’t find anything, I thought I would post my solution here.
I have recently taken a dive into the world of Flex for a project at work. More specifically, I’ve been using the Flex IDE called Flex Builder 3. While doing lots of research, I found an open-source component that looked really promising so I grabbed the code only to find that it wasn’t working in Flex Builder 3.

(For a bit of humor, check out the Unitasker Wednesday section, devoted to silly unitasker items that are almost certainly clutter).
