My question was really whether you're running the app in the standalone debugger player or in Safari's debugger player or some other browser's debugger player.
The debugger player has a config file called mm.cfg. I don't know where it goes on Mac. I don't know if there is an option to shut off the dialog but if you find mm.cfg and post the contents I can look up what is in there.

Capabilities.version = MAC 10,0,32,18 Capabilities.isDebugger = true With this version I'm not seeing any stack tracebacks on unhandled exceptions. Just silent failures. Is there some configuration somewhere where I might have turned it off by accident? --- In [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > My colleagues confirm that the Mac standalone player shows the exception > dialog.
