@Dino > Ah It wasn’t at the time I published the post. Could you confirm that running the example given in the post break something for you?

This method will break a swf if it is used in the main class’ constructor running in the non-debug player.

Hi Michael, glad to see that you well had my message on your own blog. As we are used to say in French when two people have the same good idea without knowing them each other : “les grands esprits se rencontrent”, translate it with : “great minds think alike”.

Do you add : e.getStackTrace() != null because you have some cases where it was null ? I’ve checked in debug and release version of the player and it always return a non null String.

Woah! You did it in a single line of code. Great idea!

Thibault Imbert from http://www.bytearray.org just tell me that someone had the same idea in the past : http://michaelvandaniker.com/blog/2008/11/25/how-to-check-debug-swf/

I do not want to forget real initiators of this good idea, so this is done.
