This application is somewhat unusual in that we dynamically create components 
in 
accordance with a user defined XML file. We switched from BETA 3 Milestone 4 to 
the new 
released GA version of Flex. The anomolies that we are seeing are in multiple 
areas. The 
most evident are in the initial creation of widgets. We use an Accordion 
component and 
programatically introduce child panels with textboxes, comboboxes, etc. The 
comboboxes 
are tied to ArrayCollections dynamically derived from web service calls. 
Everything worked 
fine in BETA but when we switched, all hell broke loose.

1) The Headers for the 2nd Accordion panel (there are two total) is now off the 
screen
2) There now appears a vertical scroll bar, where there was none in the BETA 
version
3) When attempting to select the 2nd panel, via the header, it does not open 
the panel the 
first time. Disappears from view and we have to scroll down to it and click the 
header 
again, at which time it now selects the 2nd panel appopriately.
4) There are items in the comboboxes, but when I click tje button to expose the 
dropdown 
the program starts behaving erraticly. It will select another item, but the 
response 
becomes extremely slow and eventually memory usage goes way up, the fan comes 
on and 
the screen will eventually lock up
5) On the comboboxes which I have a typeahead programmed (after 3 characters 
the 
component automatically calls a web service to provide content via a database 
call). The 
content comes back, but the behavior is different than it was during BETA. It 
should 
display a dropdown list allowing the user to choose the corect content. It now 
selects the 
first item in the list and does not display the dropdown.

The behavior that I am seeing is different across the board, from BETA to the 
new release 
version. It often ends up in some race condition where it eats up memory and 
eventually 
stops responding and needs to be force quit.
