If I add the -mx parameter to MTASC (I'm working through FlashDevelop) it removes the error, but the Delegate class doesn't work anymore (Delegate.create returns undefined).

Hmm...I just tried building using MTASC and I'm getting an error in one of the mx classes. It's choking on mx.utils.Delegate (variables aren't typed).
