Crazy AS3 Runtime Error
In all the months I’ve been authoring ActionScript 3, I’ve never seen a runtime error as cool as this:http://thebackbutton.com/misc/best_stack_dump_ever.txt(note: some package/class names have been masked)I managed to get this error when I called a temperately disabled function, renderPlotsHandler(e:Event):void. And when I say disabled, I simply mean that I added a ‘return;’ to the first line of the function.So, I have no idea how I managed to get this error if the function did nothing?!Crazy ![]()




So crazy the little bug.
You’ve hit a verify error. This happens when a compiler creates bytecode that cannot be verified at runtime. So it’s a bug with the compiler or with the verifier. In your case, it could be that the compiler is getting confused by the unreachable code in your function.
I’m sure Adobe would find it helpful if you could send them the code that caused the error, or submit it to the bug tracker - http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/.
Ahaha I randomly read this post and a few minutes later encountered this errorspam a lot with break/continue.
Curse you.
