Cryptic Flash Error Message of the Week Award

And the winner is...

1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript.

If you are using a Document Class, this error will occur if you include any code at all in the first frame of your FLA. Even a lowly comment triggers it.

I hear a lot of complaints about Flash CS4 from people. Since I hardly use it anymore, I don't have much of an opinion. Seriously, if you're a Flash coder, and you're still working in the Flash IDE, you really should take a long hard look at FlexBuilderFlashBuilder. I know it can be overwhelming at first, and it has its drawbacks, but it's still miles ahead of programming in the IDE. And there's nothing you can do in the IDE that you can't do in FlashBuilder. Indeed, I usually set up my projects so they can be built with either tool.

Heck, you can even try it for free for 60 days: get a 30-day trial of FlexBuilder 3 and then get the 30-day trial of FlashBuilder 4 from Adobe Labs (it's reasonably solid for small projects).
