Flash debugging throws errors inside try-catch

scianid · November 28, 2015, 10:25am

I get an acception thrown on

Type.resolveClass(className)

(inside the Type code in flash’s libraries - \HaxeToolkit\haxe\std\flash_std\Type.hx)
If it does not have a class with that name instead of going into the catch clause.
looks like the try-catch is just not working only on flash…
on other targets this works as expected.

anyone has any idea why that happens?

It seems to be in another try/catch?

github.com

HaxeFoundation/haxe/blob/development/std/flash/_std/Type.hx#L89-L110




	public static function resolveClass( name : String ) : Class<Dynamic> untyped {
		var cl : Class<Dynamic>;
		try {
			cl = __as__(__global__["flash.utils.getDefinitionByName"](name),Class);
			if( cl.__isenum )
				return null;
			return cl; // skip test below
		} catch( e : Dynamic ) {
			switch( name ) {
			case "Int": return Int;
			case "Float": return Float;
			#if as3
			case "Dynamic": return Dynamic;
			#end
			}
			return null;
		}
		// ensure that this is a class
		if( cl == null || cl.__name__ == null )
