Actually, I was using Alert because I was NOT in the browser--it was in the Flash Player ActiveX control inside an application. The problem was that some interaction between the styles I was using and a Text control was hosing the display list (and I never got to the bottom of it--I just switched to TextArea), so Alert was failing to come up. I use trace() when it _is_ in the browser, but in this case it wasn't possible. I think debugging Flex is an art form--you learn how to place your break points so as to avoid the horrible trap in UIComponent where step over and step out stop working. HTH; Amy
