I can't help with the Alert issue, but since I often debug within a
wrapper, here's one alternative that provides a constant, simple
debug window. I can't remember, but I might've grabbed it from this
forum originally.
Paste the code below in your app.
Call showWindow() to activate the window.
Call debug("your text here") for your debug text.
Good luck.
import mx.events.*;
import mx.containers.*;
import mx.controls.*;
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
private var _window:TitleWindow;
private var debugText:TextArea = new TextArea();
private function showWindow():void {
debugText.height = 600;
debugText.width= 400;
_window = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
TitleWindow));
_window.addChild(debugText);
_window.showCloseButton = true;
_window.addEventListener(CloseEvent.CLOSE,closeHandler);
}
public function debug(str:String):void {
if (debugText.text.length > 1000)
debugText.text = "";
debugText.text += str;
}
private function closeHandler(event:CloseEvent):void {
PopUpManager.removePopUp(_window);
}
