Attachment: MXML that should expose the problem

I created an AIR app (a Flash app did not offer GraphicElement) and ran the test. It returned true. Please advise. I have attached the MXML file FYI.

I compiled the attached AIR application using flex 4.0.0.7219 and ran the application using an internal build of AIR (WIN 10,1,50,211) and the application returned "TRUE" as expected.
