Runtime Error Window fails to pop up

[goliatone]

Hi,

My  system does not display runtime error windows. It's not related to a  singular project, but rather to any flash movie playing on my computer.

The issue i have is twofold, one one hand not having runtime errors displayed means that I can't do quick builds (to do a debug build is slower and most of the time I don't need the info) The other issue is that the player crashes when I'm browsing Internet and I have to restart the browser to get the player working again...

If I build a fla (does not matter with what tool), and throw an unhandled exception, the runtime error window will not pop up.

I can catch the errors if I compile in debug mode, and then it will the movie will stop and the editor will highlight the offending line of code, and provide the stacktrace (normal behavior)

Also,  If Im browsing internet, sometimes the player will crash (in FF, IE or  Chrome ) I have to restart the browser to get the player working again. I  assume it crashes because an unhandled exception, since it does not crash with all movies, but when one movie crashes the player it does so consistently at the same point.

I have a new computer, Windows 7 Home Premium. It noticed this as soon as I started developing flash with it.

Initially I had the latest FP release at that moment (10,3,181,26 debugger), no I downgraded to 10,2,152,26 debugger version.

Finally, got to fix this issue.

There is a file that contains a setting to allow/disallow error popups, mm.cfg (located in my box at C:\Users\User)

In that file, add/change:

SuppressDebuggerExceptionDialogs=0

This file is giving me headaches in another matter, if I compile an air application with the 4.5 flex sdk, the WindowedApplication does not show up. I need to delete the file for the app to show...

See http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flash/articles/flash_player_admin_guide/flash_player_admin_guide.pdf (Chapter 4) how to configure the mms.cfg file.

Funny thing SuppressDebuggerExceptionDialogs is not even in the linked document.

[pwillener]

It's an "undocumented" setting.

A, I see. Still with SuppressDebuggerExceptionDialogs = 0 or without it I am not getting run time errors popping up.
