Known issues
UncaughtErrorEvents
UncaughtErrorEvent listeners will not capture uncaught errors that are thrown from an event listener added directly to the stage. To prevent an uncaught error from being thrown by such an event listener, use a try ... catch block to isolate any code that can throw a synchronous error. ( 2722320)
openWithDefaultApplication() on Ubuntu
An API call file.openWithDefaultApplication() does not work on Ubuntu 10.10. This is because gvfs-bin is not installed on Ubuntu by default. The workaround is to install gvfs-bin using "sudo apt-get install gvfs-bin". (2744287).
