Yes I did try a simple case. I put some code that causes a null pointer exception into a screen's onCreationComplete handler. I see the traceback inside the debugger but nothing when running the program without the debugger.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about this issue, and also just about the terminology to talk about it. I wonder if it's really just a Mac vs. Windows issue? In other kinds of software development it's common to see differences across platforms, but it's much less common with Flex. What version of the Flash player are you running? I was thinking maybe it was something that worked with version 9 and got broken with version 10. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > If you have a debugger player you should be seeing the exception dialog > whether you are in the debugger or not.
