There seem's to be an ever growing list of things that just "don't work right" in the language (at least compared to if I was writing things natively.).. and unfortunately the documentation/community is severely lacking.
Recently I was 100% stumped by a single build error for an entire weekend - it came out of no where, and it makes no sense at all. (I only found the solution by painstakingly merging changes from my current code into a 3 day old build, and building after each change).
The build issue:
When doing a release build of my AIR project in Flash Builder 4.5 I was receiving the strangest error ever:
Error occurred while packaging the application: Warning: 'function nextResult' contains a verify error at offset 757174. The body of this method will be replaced with 'throw VerifyError.
There was a nice long stack trace included as well, that pointed to absolutely nothing in my own code - (no way I am going to type this guy up!)
So what was the culprit? The code below (note, not even part of the referenced nextResult function!)
Bad Code (???)
[javascript]
switch(currentState)
{
case "Splash2":
{
// restart_clickHandler(null);
// break;
}
case "LangLoc":
{
restart_clickHandler(null);
break;
}
default:
{
break;
}
}
[/javascript]
After tweaking the case block below to have its own break (see below) statement, the Export Release Build worked perfectly (I think).
Good Code
[javascript]
switch(currentState)
{
case "Splash2":
{
restart_clickHandler(null);
break;
}
case "LangLoc":
{
restart_clickHandler(null);
break;
}
default:
{
break;
}
}
[/javascript]
Not cool Adobe. Not cool.
