Hi all,
so I have been trying to port my flex application to Royale and am currently
working on learning Crux.
Here I was having a problem, that was extremely difficult to trace down.
The effect was, that my Application was giving me the following error in the
browser:
getDefinitionByName.js:59 Uncaught ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable is
not defined.

When setting a breakpoint in getDefinitionByName.js:59 I could see that “name”
is simply set to the empty string.
Also did the stacktrace not really give me any hint to what might be causing
the problem. So I did a debugging session with Carlos.
Effectively we commented out stuff till the application “worked” again. Today I
finally found out what was causing the problem.
In my code I had the following statement:
[EventHandler(event="LoginEvent.LOGIN")]
public function userLogin() {
//serviceHelper.executeServiceCall(remoteModuleService.listModulesForCurrentUser(),
handleListModulesForCurrentUser);
}
I really tried everything, till I noticed I didn’t define a return type, so as
soon as I changed that to:
[EventHandler(event="LoginEvent.LOGIN")]
public function userLogin():void {
//serviceHelper.executeServiceCall(remoteModuleService.listModulesForCurrentUser(),
handleListModulesForCurrentUser);
}
My application worked.
So would there be a way to make sure this sort of problem doesn’t occur or to
give some output that makes tracking down the issue simpler?
