I just spent about an hour trying to debug a Flash application that all of a sudden stopped compiling - no traces, nothing. I went through commenting out code and so on until I found the problem…
var _timer:Timer = event.target as Timer;
_timer.delay -= 0.0.5;
Seriously… an extra decimal point ‘broke’ Flash. Just to be sure I made a new fla with the same value and again it stopped the swf from compiling.
Is this the same for other people?
Anyway, Im glad its resolved now but obviously this happened when I have an impending deadline
