Flash builder 4.6 Fake flex error

Question

I have a problem with flash builder 4.6

Its giving me a fake error and I don't know how to fix it. Its telling me this:

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type GuisP:OptionsMenu to an unrelated type GUIs:GUI.

Given this method:

public function setCurrentGUI(gui:Gui):void

Using this class:

public class OptionsMenu extends Gui

And I know its a fake error because if I restart Flash Builder it will just run and throw no errors at all.

I should probably add that I'm using the Appache 4.10.0 Flex SDK

Is there any way to fix this Without having to restart flash builder every 5 minutes?

Have you tried a project clean? Are all your libraries compiled with Apache Flex 4.10? I've seen odd errors by mixing and matching SWCs compiled w/ different versions of Flex. Do you have two classes named OptionsMenu; potentially causing an ambiguous reference? — JeffryHouser
I'll look into this, I'll let you know. No, I don't have to classes named the same (or packages named the same as a class) — Duckdoom5
Also, to my knowledge, the Apache Flex SDK isn't supported by Flash Builder 4.6, you have to upgrade to Flash Builder 4.7. Yes, you'll lose design view in doing so. — ffxtian

If you to Project > Clean... that usually fixes the errors for me.
If that doesn't work you can try creating a new file with the same name and moving over the code. I've had to do that before.
