It might be possible to put some kind of emergency error message display code into the top level application class, which has a catch of all errors and displays a text box on the stage.
The next best thing is to launch the app using the flex debugger "fdb" e.g., fdb "http://localhost:8080/yourapp.lzx"; And that will print the errors to the fdb console On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 7:25 AM, Raju Bitter < [email protected]> wrote: > Which doesn't help you in that case since the application doesn't even > load/initialize, and there is no debugger window. > > On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 3:41 PM, P T Withington <[email protected]> wrote: > > Well, you didn't put the code into "LzScript" either.
