OpenLazslo Drawback

Although OpenLazslo provide a good API, especially version 4.2 that has a awesome compiler, it is still a pain in debuging OpenLazslo development.

1. There is no Debug Line Stepping
2. If error occurs in the swf, the application will hang without any debugging information stated in the debug window
3. Minimal support information for version 4.2

Also, some important stuff are not well documented in the changeset from 4.1 to 4.2.

Some examples:

• 4.2 requires the use of passthrough for importing AS3 library. However, it is not stated anywhere.
• Some Laszlo tag elements are seemingly removed. I had experience on . The application hangs when name attribute exists.
