Player freezes - What kind of error am I making?
Mells
Guru
Hi,
I was working on an app several weeks ago and had to halt development suddenly.
I thought that it was working fine before I close the project, but I was wrong.
Now when I open the project, the player freezes (spinning icon) during a game session (the EnterFrame event listener is not running anymore after a few seconds).
No error appears in the console, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Most probably (99% sure) it's an error on my side, not Gideros.
I have to force quit the player, if I don't space is shrinking on my hard drive and I get a "your startup disk is almost full".
A restart restores my space.
My question is : do you have any idea of what kind of errors cause this kind of issue?
thanks

I'm doing this :
The datas are still accessible before the player freezes.
I think what @OZApps meant is that it has saved some data wrongly, and now when you try to read it, it loops or produces error.
I had the similar situation where I accidentally saved a division by 0 in the file, and then json library could not interpret it, and I had to delete all files in documents directory on my pc to make project run again.
Ok I found it, it was tricky and was due to an infinite loop (and for once very far from obvious).
Thanks for the help and confirming that this was caused by a loop
