Issues with removing Flex data binding to use Air 14

Question

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had optimal solution for replacing the Flex data binding classes in Air 14. I'm unable to merge the Flex and Air SDK together anymore so all the binding handlers need to be replaced. Has anyone else run into this issue yet? The automated binding generation and handling was the best feature of Flex and now that it's broken it creates huge issues for me.
This is for Air desktop and mobile applications. They still build just no of the event handling works.
Cheers,
Pete

I had forgotten I solved this myself last Dec. So basically from what I can tell the precompiler no longer does any [Bindable] conversions so you have to manually create the getters and setters for your model when this changes. I hope this helps anyone who may run into the same problem. There's literally no documentation on this any wheres.
i.e.
[Bindable]
public var username : String;
becomes
private var _username : String;
        [Bindable(event="propertyChange")]
        public function get username():String
            return this._serviceState;
        public function set username(value:String):void
            var oldValue:Object = this._username;
            if (oldValue !== value)
                this._username = value;
                if (this.hasEventListener("propertyChange"))
                    this.dispatchEvent(mx.events.PropertyChangeEvent.createUpdateEvent(this, "username", oldValue, value));
You also need to make sure what ever class contains this property implements IEventDispatcher and has the following functions:
IEventDispatcher implementation
private var _bindingEventDispatcher:flash.events.EventDispatcher =
new flash.events.EventDispatcher(flash.events.IEventDispatcher(this));
  * @inheritDoc
public function addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function,
  useCapture:Boolean = false,
  priority:int = 0,
  weakRef:Boolean = false):void
_bindingEventDispatcher.addEventListener(type, listener, useCapture,
priority, weakRef);
  * @inheritDoc
public function dispatchEvent(event:flash.events.Event):Boolean
return _bindingEventDispatcher.dispatchEvent(event);
  * @inheritDoc
public function hasEventListener(type:String):Boolean
return _bindingEventDispatcher.hasEventListener(type);
  * @inheritDoc
public function removeEventListener(type:String,
listener:Function,
useCapture:Boolean = false):void
_bindingEventDispatcher.removeEventListener(type, listener, useCapture);
  * @inheritDoc
public function willTrigger(type:String):Boolean
return _bindingEventDispatcher.willTrigger(type);
