Geert,

The fl.controls.Label is the Flash Authoring/ActionScript 3.0 Label control.
The mx.controls.Label is the Flex SDK/ActionScript 3.0 Label control.

What’s this
import fl.controls.Label ???

If I use
import mx.controls.Label;

I get
1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property textField through a reference with static type mx.controls:Label.
