Hey Neil, hi!
Hopefully you have already seen: http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/SWF9_Conversion
You might want to read the latest copy of "OpenLaszlo <view>":
http://openlaszlo.org/misc/OpenLaszloView103109.pdf
We've spiffed up our debugger in the latest trunk build so that it
_should_ be more helpful than what is available in 4.6.1. So, you
might want to try a nightly build (from http://download.openlaszlo.org/nightly/trunk/
).
Alternatively, you can try using the flex debugger, fdb. Henry (cc-
ed) can fill you in on the details of that. If you lzc --debug there
should also be annotations in the intermediate files that should point
you back to your original source.
Finally, you can set compiler.catcherrors=true in WEB-INF/lps/config/
lps.properties (it's commented out in the distribution by default),
and this will make swf9 act a bit more like swf8 by catching and
ignoring any errors. Not recommended, but sometimes needed as a last
resort. (In the nightlies, essentially a debug compile catches all
errors and reports them in a way that you can relate back to your LZX
source).
Let us know how it goes. We need more 'big' swf9 projects, and always
glad to help out Pandora. :)

Hi folks,
I'm attempting to port a very oooold Laszlo project to 4.6.1, swf9
runtime. The project is compiling successfully, but when I run the
app it fails early on during startup. No errors are showing up in
the debug window, but the handy debug Flash is logging the following
stack trace:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.

Now I recognize that Flex is the compiler underneath and this is an
intermediate auto-generated file. Finding the file and the source
of the bug is not very hard. But this is almost certainly the first
of many such errors I need to fix. It would be great if I could
automatically tie this back to the original source file/line. Is it
normal for errors like this not to show up in the Debug window? Is
there anything I'm doing wrong that prevents me from seeing the
original source file/line?
A couple facts about my setup that could influence things:
- I'm compiling from the command-line
- As you can probably see, the app is pretty dang big
Thanks for any advice,
-Neil
