Flash CS4 has been fairly stable despite a few crashes, but this issue drove me nuts for a while.

When compiling (publishing or testing) a movie, Flash would tell me I have X number of compile errors, but the Compile Errors window was blank. Despite knowing with fair certainty that I didn’t have an error, the compile errors would persist until I closed Flash CS4, re-opened and compiled the movie again, this time error free.

I finally realized what I was doing to cause this behavior and can thus reproduce it. Start publishing a movie with an error or twenty, then Stop the publish before it completes. Fix the error and re-publish to see the same number of compiler errors and no detail.

Restarting Flash CS4 is the only resolution I’m aware of at this time. Has anyone else experienced this?
