[Laszlo-dev] what happened to the filename/line-numbers that used to show up in swf10 runtime errors?

It's me.  Already spotted by André in his review:

So, it's not being set for backtrace builds of the LFC.

I'm working on addressing his review comments and will check in a fix  
soon.

In the meantime, this is the fix:

Index: build.xml
===================================================================
--- build.xml	(revision 14937)
+++ build.xml	(working copy)
@@ -206,6 +206,7 @@
              // warnings, the options can be changed to simply -g3
              dobuild(dest,
                      "swf" + v,
+                    platformopt +
                      shlibopt + "--option debugBacktrace --option  
nameFunctions --option warnGlobalAssignments '-D$debug=true'");
            }
          }

[But I might make a different change and have the Flex compiler get  
that option any time nameFunctions is on, since that is a better  
indication of the need for source location info.]
