Can't use compiler constant to set source for embed tag in ASC2.0

Hi.

I'm poring an application to ASC2.0. The code I'm talking about is being compiled as a flash movie, but I'm sure it applies to AIR also.

So we have some code like this:

class Test

{

  [Embed(source=CONFIG::FILE,mimeType="application/octet-stream")]

  private var TextClass:Class;

  public function test():String

  {

    var ba:ByteArray = new TextClass();

    var str:String = ba.readUTFBytes(ba.length);

    return str;

  }

}

CONFIG::FILE is set as compiler options like this

    <define append="true">

      <name>CONFIG::FILE</name>

      <value>'../../../../TEXT.txt'</value>

    </define>

This code compiles, but at runtime, the TextClass is null. If I replace the embed line with this, it works.

[Embed(source="../../../../TEXT.txt",mimeType="application/octet-stream")]

If I change the source string location, compilation fails. If I change the content of the compile constant, it does not fail, regardless if it points to a correct location or not.

Seems like another ASC2.0 bug. I suggest to open a forum that deals with ASC2.0 specifically.
