+FLEX-35329 Initializing member variable/constant that is [Deprecated]
+ incorrectly throws extra warning
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+Adobe Flash Builder Integration
+
+Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 and Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 both contain a bug where,
+when generating the .mxml file for a new project that uses Apache Flex SDK
+4.10.0 or later Spark Application, Flash Builder will incorrectly insert the
+attribute:
+
+ layout="absolute"
+
+This results in a compile error in the new project. The remedy is to simply
+remove the errant attribute.
+
+The following wiki page has been set up to contain the latest news on Adobe's
+attempt to correct this problem:
+
+ https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Adobe+Flash+Builder+'New+Project'+Bug
+
+Adobe has provided a patch for Flash Builder 4.7 that resolves this issue:
