FlexMonkey - MonkeyAgent doesn't work with references to Application

If you've got an app and are hoping to test it using FlexMonkey, be careful that you don't have any references to Application.application. This would normally return you a nice reference to your main app MXML file, but since MonkeyAgent is doing the loading, it will return you a reference to MonkeyAgent instead. Rather than change your code, I'd recommend using MonkeyLink. You need to include a bunch of stuff, but at least it works.

Another gotcha, compile your own MonkeyAgent and MonkeyLink projects because you can't run an app compiled with 3.4 in a MonkeyAgent compiled in 3.1. You will get incompatible override errors.
