Animate Test Movie suddenly stopped working...

I am developing an AIR project using the free version of Karmon's AIR 33.1.1.98 for desktop...

I have an appName.fla file with nothing but assets, everything is done in as3, loading an appName.as file.

Everything has always worked fine except today, when I go to test my project, it opens with the usual AIR flash screen, then to a blank blue screen, nothing in the Output window and nothing in Compiler Errors window...

If I try to debug it, it says "You can not debug this SWF because it contains no actionscript."

Eventually traced it to a fatal error in one of the class functions... somehow caused the interpreter to fail silently without compiling anything or giving any output... posted this solution in case anyone else runs into this issue.
