I've been running it in Firefox and seeing the problem. I just tried in Safari and I did see the traceback! So it seems to be something related to Firefox. I'm running Firefox 3.5.5 on the Mac. I'll hunt around, maybe the traceback is being blocked by a Firefox popup blocker or something.
What do you mean by a standalone debugger player? I only know how to run my flex app through the browser, either by pointing a browser to the file:///.../app.html file, or else letting Eclipse launch the app in the browser using the same URL. Thanks a lot for all the help, we're finally making progress. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > 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.
