I am posting this here in case anyone else is searching the archives, but I foun d out the issue.
Ok, I never would have thought this was it, but it appears as though the name of my component file was the issue! My compoenent file was called Menu.mxml. I guess it is a naming/reserved name or something? At any rate, I renamed the file to MyMenu.mxml, and then called the component in my app, and problem solved. My head should stop hurting (now that I stopped pulling my hair out) anytime now....
