Step 1: Find and replace

There are many simple operations that you can do to your application to minimize the
number of warnings and errors you get when you first attempt to compile your application. In
many cases, these operations require that you do a find and replace.
You should not have to spend much time performing these tasks because the differences
between the Flex 1.x and Flex 2 syntax is generally minor but necessary. These operations
include the following:
"Application namespace" on page 11
■
"Void" on page 11
■
"Newline" on page 11
■
"Effects/behaviors" on page 14
■
"Application and container initialization" on page 12
