stack traces in non-debug player

Hi,

Please make sure your SWF is published as version 18. As indicated in the following document, this feature is available only for SWF version 18 and above.

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/flashplayer-air-feature-list.html

Please also note that the stack traces generated in the non-debug version of the player will only show method names. For full stack trace info including file name and line numbers, a debug version of the player (see Content Debuggers available for download here: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html) is required in addition to the SWF itself being published as a debug SWF.

Here's a sample usage of the feature:

package

{

          import flash.display.Sprite;

          import flash.text.TextField;

          public class StackTraceTestCase extends Sprite

          {

                    public var console:TextField = new TextField();

                    public function StackTraceTestCase()

                    {

                              console.width = stage.stageWidth;

                              console.height = stage.stageHeight;

                              console.border = true;

                              this.stage.addChild(console);

                              foobar1();

                    }

                    private function foobar1():void {

                              foobar2();

                    }

                    private function foobar2():void {

                              foobar3();

                    }

                    private function foobar3():void {

                              foobar4();

                    }

                    private function foobar4():void {

                              foobar5();

                    }

                    private function foobar5():void {

                              try {

                                        var myVar:String = null;

                                        /*

                                         * This results in Null Reference error.

                                         */

                                        console.appendText(myVar.toString());

                              } catch ( error:Error ) {

                                        console.appendText(error.getStackTrace());

                              }

                    }

          }

}

And the output generated by the non-debug version of the player:

TypeError: Error #1009
