Thanks for the link Alex....
I am quite familiar with the flex builder debugger and have used it
extensively...in fact used it to help nail down where the problem was
occurring and why.
As fate would have it, the error is now gone. My coding partner and
I both merged in some changes we were making to that particular ADG
(persisting re-ordering nodes via drag and drop and adding another
column to the grid) and something we've done has made this error
disappear...when we get a breathe, we'll take a look at what we did to
see if we can figure out what made the error disappear.
I can post the code for the page in here if that's what would
help...but keep in mind it's a couple thousand lines...
Finally, here is the stack dump that is created when the exception
was thrown:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
