debugger terminates unexpectedly

[Azeem]

Hello,

I've a piece of code that causes the debugger (Cylon) to terminate consistently. I suspect it may have to do with the fact that the window is being reloaded. Please look into it and let me know if you need additional information. Here is the line of the code that causes the crash:

Code:

ExternalInterface.call("window.location.reload");

Regards,

Hi,

I think this might be due to a Cylon problem in beta 7 which we've fixed in beta 8. I've just tried it with beta 8 and it seems to work ok - that is, it restarts the browser and the Cylon debugger exits normally.

Can you download beta 8 and see if that fixes the problem?

Dermot,

Thank you for looking into it. I'll download beta 8 and try it. Although, is it possible for me to continue debugging after the ExternalInterface call? Based on your response, it looks like, it would now terminate normally instead of crashing. Ideally, I would like to be able to continue debugging after this. Anyway, I'll try Beta 8 and let you know how it works.

Thanks! - Azeem

I've looked at this again - I think it's normal behaviour. What you are doing is asking the *container* (I.E or FireFox or whatever) to reload. This causes the Flash Player to terminate and send an 'Exit' command to the debugger which does what it is supposed to do and terminates because th Flash Player that it debugging has terminated. So i don't think that there is any difference between beta 7 and beta 8 here.
