Hi,
I experimented a couple situations where swf9 code silently fails. The first
one is the one Rami reported.
If you try to call a method without args, but it declares some args,
execution silently fails too.
Same result if you try to do: var x = doSomething() where "doSomething" is a
void method.
I wonder if the swf9 architecture can catch these errors in order to display
a laszlo error.
Regards,

Quirino
