I thought I'd create a test case to test this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute"
applicationComplete="onApplicationComplete()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
private function onApplicationComplete():void
{
var x:Boolean = true;
var y:Boolean = false;
if(x == true && y == false)
{
doSomething();
}
else if(x== false && y == false)
{
if( x == true)
{
Alert.show("Should never happen.");
}
doSomethingElse();
}
else
{
//do nothing
}
}
private function doSomething():void {}
private function doSomethingElse():void {}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
It works fine. No Alert box.
How are you invoking this code. It has to be something else.

I get it the message every time the code is executed. I ran the 'Clean'
option in under the Build menu and the source recompiled, the problem
remains.
