[Laszlo-user] Replace method missing for String

[lcondellone]

Its the same string both times, but maybe this will help:

_this code:_
var env_info = LzCanvas.versionInfoString();
Debug.write( env_info );
env_info = env_info.replace("\n", "; ");
env_info = env_info.replace("<![CDATA[&]]>", "; ");
var test = "test";
Debug.write('test: ', test.replace);

_Outputs this when working:_
URL: 
http://localhost:8080/main.lzx?lzt=swf&lzr=swf8&debug=true&lzbacktrace=true
Version: 4.0.11.0
Release: Mars Production
Build: 8460-openlaszlo-branches-pagan-deities

Target: swf8
Runtime: 9.124
test:  «Function#6| ../util/string-utils.js#15/59»

_And this when not:_
URL: 
http://localhost:8080/main.lzx?lzt=swf&lzr=swf8&debug=true&lzbacktrace=true
Version: 4.0.11.0
Release: Mars Production

ERROR @LogService.lzx#55: call to undefined method 'replace'
ERROR @LogService.lzx#56: undefined object does not have a property 
'replace'
WARNING @LogService.lzx#59: reference to undefined property 'replace'
test:  undefined

So is there added/missing functionality somewhere (this is a big 
project), or is String being manipulated? Can String be manipulated?
