Vector class in a Flex Library Project

i seem to be having some problems with the Vector class in actionscript 3

in a Flex Project or an ActionScript Project it is possible to do this

var v:Vector.<String>;

But when i do the same thing in a Flex Library Project (to create an SWC) then i get the following error on that line of code 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: String.

so when using Flex Library Project it fails..., but when i compile the same thing using compc there are no problems

any idea why only the library project is complaining about Vector ?

btw this happens with all kinds off Vector declarations , not just String

var v:Vector.<String>
var v:Vector.<Number>
var v:Vector.<Object>

etc, all fail...

(i am using flex 4 sdk)

Adding "-target-player 10,0,0" in Flex Builder 3 gives an error "configuration variable 'target-player' must only be set once".

To resolve it add the following line in Project -> Properties -> Flex Library Compiler -> Additional compiler arguments

-dump-config "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.5(AIR 2.0)\frameworks\flex-config.xml" -target-player=10

this would dump the current configuration settings.

add:

"-target-player 10,0,0"

under "Properties -> Flex Library Compiler -> Additional compiler arguments !

Then it works with Flex B. 3

Make sure you set the "-target-player" compiler argument to "10,0,0".

ok it seems with Flex Builder 3 it is not possible to specify a minimim required flash player version for a Flex Library project , that's why it wasnt working.

i have tested the same thing in Flash Builder 4 , and now it is possible to specify that player version , which it possible to compile the Flex Library Project.

Thx for the answers Tegeril and Patrick you pushed me in the right direction.
