linking a source directory creates an error

i have simple program started use in playing few external libraries out there.

 

i downloaded flint source , uncompressed c:\developer\flint_2_1_3_source directory.

 

then, went project-properties-flex build path , selected source path tab.

 

i clicked on "add folder" button , selected above folder.

 

once had in project went source file , found code hinting totally gone.  in other words when typed "import " , hit control space, nothing popped up.  in browsing around discovered had ! root in outline view , toggling on design view see following message: "an unknown item declared root of mxml document. switch source mode correct it."

 

my source simple , looks a-ok (see below)

 

i removed source directory , issue doesn't go away now.  know what's going on here?

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<s:application

 

 

xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

xmlns:s="

library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

xmlns:mx="

library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"

minwidth="800"

minheight="600" xmlns:ns1="*">

 

 

<fx:declarations>

 

 

<!-- place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->

 

 

</fx:declarations>

 

 

</s:application>

can post contents of .actionscriptproperties file? that's easiest way show what's in library path.

 

from package explorer (assuming flash builder 4), hit filters button (the 1 3 arrows) , uncheck ".* resources". should see .actionscriptproperties file @ project root.

 

i able setup project flint no errors. here's mine looks after creating new flex 4 project (using default flex 4 sdk) , adding flint source:
