Hi I have the same problem. I tested the minimal app of r3d9u11 Works with Flash Works with HTML5 but shows no item texts Crashes with Neko Works with C++ but shows no item texts

haxe 3.4.0 Windows10 x64 haxeui-core and haxeui-openfl are the latest versions from git

[ianharrigan]

I'm in the UK till next week but will check it out when I'm back. Was this working previously? Ie, is this a 3.4 issue? I have 3.2.1 at home and all is fine

[ianharrigan]

Any difference with git lime / openfl?

[R3D9477]

yes, it's for 3.4.0 and neko 2.1.0

I can't test git-version of lime, because I have exception "Error: Source path "/home/r3d9u11/.haxelib_repo/lime/git/ndll/Linux64/lime.ndll" does not exist"

[ibilon]

@r3d9u11 for lime git you need to build the missing ndll with lime rebuild linux see https://github.com/openfl/lime#building-from-source

[R3D9477]

many thanks for hint!

similar error with openfl-git and lime-git, too:

Uncaught exception - Invalid call

but this is not error of compilation, this is a runtime error

[ianharrigan]

Im still on haxe 3.2.1 and your test project works fine here. I wonder if this is a 3.4 thing. :(

[wildfireheart]

On macOS Dropdowns work with Haxe 3.4.2 and git version lime/openfl. I think I had some problems in the past, but that could be totally irrrelevant to this. I will be testing Windows build next week.

[ianharrigan]

Im going to close this as its very old. Feel free to open any new issues if this isnt actually resolved.

Cheers! Ian
