Hi,
Ah, yes. Thanks for pointing that out. :-)
SWF mode doesn't give any error and masks the problem entirely.
SWF is very forgiving of errors and fails silently, unless debugging
is turned on.
Would be helpful if the compiler could warn, if feasible.
Good improvement suggestion. Not trivial to do as the compiler would
have to do much more analysis to realize that your expression is
clobbering a method. Fixed in Javascript 2. :)

Hi Robert,
Javascript is essentially a 'Lisp 1'. Functions and Variables are
in the same namespace. In your handler you are overwriting your
onx method with the onx delegate. If you give your method a
different name, you will not see this error:
<handler name="oninit">
this.onx_del = new LzDelegate(this, "onx_meth", this,
"onx");
</handler>
<method name="onx_meth">
Debug.write("onx_meth: "+this.x);
</method>
[We could probably have a better error message in this case to
help you find the error.]

Nightly build 5388 crashes the DHTML runtime with this code:

DHTML IE7 and FF both crash with debug and non-debug runtimes.
FF debug DHTML gives this runtime error:
ERROR: http://localhost:8080/lps/includes/lfc/LFCdhtml-debug.js:
4041: $5_d.c[$5_d.f] is not a function <javascript:window.parent.
$modules.lz.Debug.displayObj(5)>
The test code is borderline nonsensical...SWF doesn't display the
debug output...but the DHTML should fail gracefully.
