I have been using Flash 8 to compile a moderately complex Flash application with about 40 classes. The code is all AS1. It compiles and runs without error, but I run into issues when I try to use the interactive debugger. Setting a breakpoint and stepping through code works for at least a few lines, but stepping into a method call or closing the debugger window generally causes Flash 8 to crash. I don't have this issue when doing the same steps with Flash MX 2004 -- in fact I had been using MX 2004 on this project for almost 2 years with no problems of this magnitude and just recently upgraded. These are both Mac versions of the Flash IDE.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with debugger stability under Flash 8?

I contacted Adobe tech support about my issue and they told me to send in an example of the code that makes it crash. Now I had only to isolate the crashing behavior to a particular construct within a 40 class project without any knowledge of the architecture of the Flash debugger -- easy right? When I didn't submit anything to them within a week they closed my ticket. :-P

Just hoping to collect some advice regarding this issue to see if I will need to keep swapping between two installs of the Flash IDE.

Also, I just joined Flashcoders and this is my first post to this list -- I look forward to helping out in the future.

Thanks.
