Title: Reporting tool for flex 3

---

Hi..I have a problem here on how to generate a report for my flex application. After I googling, I found out the Stimulsoft Reports.Fx for Flex is one of the reporting tool that can be buy in the market. The publisher provide free downloading software to testing.

After I downloaded and configure it and try to run, error happen. The error is 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: [mx.binding]::IWatcherSetupUtil2. Actually the tool have the .swc file which are Stimulsoft_DesignerFx_Demo and Stimulsoft_ViewerFx_Demo. And I had compiled the both .swc file into libs folder. But the error still happen.

Can anyone give me some ideas on how to solve this problem or maybe suggest another tool to generate report for flex application.

Here the code for the program. Thank you.
