I received this error when an event handler I created did not contain an expected parameter. Somehow the compiler missed it but an error was thrown in the browser. The fix was easy. I forgot to add in the event object. Adding that in fixed the problem.
directorySearch_txt.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, directoryFocusOut);
// this line generated no errors in flex but generated errors at run time
public function directoryFocusOut():void {
// do something
}
// adding the event object cleared the error
public function directoryFocusOut(event:FocusEvent):void {
// do something
}
