This is quite a simple question. I can create a brand new FLA in CS3 and add 

trace("hello");

to the first frame, run it, and nothing happens. I create the same file with the same frame action in CS4 and “hello” appears in the output window. It’s not major because typically I don’t write any timeline scripts, but if I wanted to write a quick test, it’s ideal not to have to make a separate document class.

Can anyone provide any insight as to why this is failing? Is a reinstall in order? I’ve found CS4 to be quite unpleasant and would love to stay with 3 unless I need some FP10 functionality.

    @josh, no compile errors. I’m not sure I fully understand why, but something in my Actionscript paths was causing the failure. I removed all the paths and then added back the default paths to the library and lo-and-behold, actions are working again.
