Are you running the Flash Debug player? If not, you should download it from the Adobe web site, itwill make debugging much much easier.
It will give you a nice runtime error dialog when you have an arg mismatch, with the filename and line number. Well, it will give you the filename and line number of the intermediate .as file it generates, but you can look in the file to find a comment which tells you the original .lzx file and line number. You can also run the app in the debug flash player from the command line, using the 'fdb' utility (which ships with the LPS release, in WEB-INF/bin). You can say fdb "http://localhost:8080/path-to-your-app.lzx?lzr=swf9"; and then you will get the error printed to your command line shell window.
