Hi John,

This is standard Javascript that we just didn't support in SWF7/8 up to now.

For test cases, if you're talking about a .lzx file in the test directory, that illustrates how to use the language feature and proves that it works,
I can do that.  If there's something else you have in mind, let me know.

Are there test cases?  If not, please add at least one.

What level of documentation is needed for this? Is this standard JavaScript, or an LZX enhancement? If it's not standard Javascript, then I expect we'll need to explain the concept, since not all LZX developers can be expected to be familiar with Java and other languages that support try/catch.

Thanks,

jrs

Summary: support try/catch/finally and throw statements in SWF7/8

New Features: try/catch/finally supported in SWF7/8.

Bugs Fixed:  LPP-1539

Technical Reviewer: ptw
QA Reviewer: maxcarlson
Doc Reviewer: (pending)

Documentation:

Release Notes:
try, catch, finally, throw statements are now supported in SWF7/8 as well as DHTML
    runtimes.

Details:
try/catch/finally are very helpful in creating a reliable software. It should help in consolidating/maintaining code in the runtime kernel,
    since DHTML already supports try/catch and we won't need to have
    alternate implementations of error handling code.

Tests:
    created some simple tests using try/catch/finally,
    also try/catch (no finally).  Had some problems with
    my try/finally (no catch) example.
    The only way I've found to trigger an exception
    in SWF7/8 is to use an explicit throw statement,
    since the SWF instruction set seems to continue to operate
    with various kinds of errors.
