          <p>For Flex 3 users, before starting the migration process, you
 should be aware of all new Flex 4 and 4.6 features, and be familiar
 with changes to existing features. The greatest differences are
 from Flex 3 to Flex 4. For information on migrating applications
 from Flex 3 to Flex 4, see the <em>
