In the release notes from Adobe, you can read.

“Flash now uses the same ActionScript 3.0 compiler as Flex Builder” … NOOOT!

I’m thinking about the differences between publishing in Flash vs. building with flex.  
For example, If you have code that uses [embed for inlining gfx-data etc. This will not work in Flash.

So… Same compiler maybe, but where can we read about the differences!?
