Hey Tucker,<br><br>The link that Raju sent does the following hack to use the Flash stack trace output to parse out a function's name in AS3 (when debugging is enabled)<br><br><pre>private function getFunctionName(e:Error):String<br>
{<br> var s:String = e.getStackTrace();<br> var i:int = s.indexOf("at ");<br> var j:int = s.indexOf("()");<br> return s.substring(i + 3, j);<br>}<br><br>private function getCallingFunctionName(e:Error):String<br>
{<br> var s:String = e.getStackTrace();<br> // trace(s);<br> var i:int = s.indexOf("at ");<br> i = s.indexOf("at ", i + 3);<br> if (i == -1)<br> return "caller unknown";<br> var j:int = s.indexOf("()", i + 3);<br>
return s.substring(i + 3, j);<br>}<br></pre>
<p>where the latter two functions are can be used like this:</p>
<pre>private function doSomething():void<br>{<br> trace(getFunctionName(new Error()));<br> doit();<br>}<br></pre><br><pre>private function doit():void<br>{<br> trace(getFunctionName(new Error()));<br> trace(" called by", getCallingFunctionName(new Error()));<br>

what is the reason that the warning to use getDisplayObject() instead of getMCRef() is not displayed correctly in DHTML? In SWF10 runtime I get the warning<br>
<br>
INFO #helloView.Function is deprecated. Use the #helloView.Function instead<br>
<br>
In SWF8 and DHTML output is correct:<br>
INFO %cssview.lzx#32: #helloView.getMCRef is deprecated. Use #helloView.getDisplayObject instead<br>
<br>
Looking into the code <a href="http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo/trunk/WEB-INF/lps/lfc/views/LaszloView.lzs" target="_blank">http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo/trunk/WEB-INF/lps/lfc/views/LaszloView.lzs</a> I see that you just dump the function reference in the warning. I guess that's because there's no API to retrieve a function's name in AS3. There is a workaround, though, described here:<br>

<br>
For this to work, you need to turn on the -verbose-stacktraces=true compiler option - which I'm not sure is done for OpenLaszlo.<br>
