greg,
I'm effectively calling initApp() as
<mx:Application ... creationComplete="initApp()" >
I also changed the HTML code for both the regular html and the debug
html (since I didn't know which was the "right" one, I changed both).
Really winder what's going on!
As for the checkpoint or a trace() statement...
I'm having a hard time getting around flex debugging... I'm a Flash
user and I'm used to the test movie enviroment (ctrl+enter) where I
can easily use the output window to check for traces...
I know this is completely retard but I can only test my flex apps in
the browser which ain't really helpful. I wonder if there's anything
like a test enviroment within flex?
Thanks a lot!
Guille
