[Laszlo-dev] LzDebugMessage.toArray is generating empty strings in swf9

[Henry Minsky]

I typed 'canvas' into the window debugger in swf9, and I get a blank line
echoed back,. I put the following
tracing into LzDebugMessage.toArray, and it shows the string going in, but
empty string and undefined coming out
of the calls to "toHTML", which are being called on strings. Maybe the
'toHTML' method does not work on
these strings that are the output of substring()?


  function toArray (linkMaker=null):Array {
    if (linkMaker == null) {
      linkMaker = function (rep, id) {return Debug.ObjectForID(id);}
    }
    var msg = this.message;
    var base = 0;
    var limit = msg.length;
    var start = 0;
    var end = 0;
    var objs = this.objects;
    var id;
    var array = [];
    var len = objs.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
      var annot = objs[i];
      start = annot.start;
      end = annot.end;
      id = annot.id;
      trace('[1] toArray calling  linkMaker ', (msg.substring(base,end)));
      array.push(msg.substring(base, start)['toHTML']());
      trace('[1.1] len ', array.length, '=', array[0]);
      trace('[2] toArray calling  linkMaker ', (msg.substring(start,end)));
      array.push(linkMaker((msg.substring(start,end))['toHTML'](), id));
      trace('[2.1]', array.length, '=', array[1]);
      base = end;
    }
    array.push(msg.substring(base, limit)['toHTML']());
    return array;
  }
