ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't See Variables When Debugging
Nov 9, 2008
I'm just moving up from AS2 to AS3, using CS3. I'm finding out most of the stuff I need to debug with, but I can't seem to see the variables in the variable window.
I've looked through the documentation, and tried touching all the buttons they say to touch and setting the publish settings to allow debugging. Nothing seems to be working.
And, unlike AS2, the program seems to start all by itself, it doesn't wait till I click on the arrow to begin, and I can't get the step into and step through buttons to not be greyed out.

I found what I am looking for when I list all variables. I want to cut out the rest of the menus that create a fan of pages.I removed the SWF's from showing up. But I am still having issues with changing the nMenus = "14" which is the number of menus to show. I want to change the "14" to "9" so there are no spacing in between my 3D Pages.

When I set a breakpoint and debug my application, Flash Builder 4 is not displaying static variables within the variables window. I'm using flash builder 4 to execute flex unit tests on one of my AS3 classes. I set a static variable within the [Before] function, which is accessed in each of the tests. I've set a breakpoint within one of the tests to see why it is failing, but I notice that static variables don't appear when I expand the 'this' object within the variables window. (In this case my static variable is the only variable associated with the class, so the only object in the variables window is the "this" object). How to make static variables appear in the variables window?

I'm building a networked client app with Flash Builder, and would like to be able to set environmental variables or #define's such as server's hostname and port. For debugging purposes I want to connect the client with different servers (and for other devs too). In C/C++ I'd define TEST_PORT=8888 or something in the IDE or build environment, that way I wouldn't need to commit a settings file along with the client. But not sure what's the standard for Flash Builder.

I know virtually nothing about Flash so I'm kind of casting about in the dark.
I have the misfortune of being a BT customer, and whilst I have reasonable bandwidth (can view streaming high res video fine) I always have problems listening to radio programmes from the BBC. I think it could be buffering due to traffic shaping, or it could be the Flash applet used to play the content, or something else.
Is it possible to bring up some kind of debugging console, or view some kind of error log to see if there is some diagnostic information that could be useful in finding the problem?

I've recently bough Flex Builder 3 and I am completely dissatisfied with its reluctance to debug. It manages to debug a few times, but after that, it just doesn't want to "connect to the debugger".

I tried SwfObject for loading swf on a website. It is all good with webkit and mozila based browsers but not with IE.[URL].. In IE 8 the footer not loading, it like crashes after the swf loads. In IE 7 the player not working, so the footer loads.
How can I debug it? I have a Mac, Linux, Win7 with IE 8 64 bit. On IE 64-bit it gives a message to update the flash player but there is no update for this player from Adobe.

I'm using the iPhone packager that's part of Air 2.7 (adt -package ipa-ad-hoc ...) for a fairly large application. (It takes about ~30 min to run the packager.) When the app runs on the iPhone, it will crash almost immediately-- long before it gets to my code. The crash log shows
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0xc0067bdb
The debugging facilities included with Flash Builder only work after the app has launched-- there doesn't seem to be anything to help me figure out why its not launching. I've been able to get toy 'hello world' apps working, but I'm stymied here. Anyone else run into this problem? And, if so, what did you do to diagnose it?

I'm stepping through my code to figure out why a certain function takes more time to run the first time it gets called than on successive calls. The code flow for each function call is the same up to when a dispatchEvent gets called. I'm pretty sure it's different afterwards, as that call takes a lot more time the first time around. Unfortunately, I have no idea which other parts of the code chew on this specific event and thus cannot step through the handling of such event.
The question: is there a way to either figure out who handles such events or magically step through the handling code without explicitly setting breakpoints there?

I've created some flash content in FlashDevelop (v 4.0) that I've turned into an .ipa and put on the device. I would like to debug the content while it is running on the device because it is giving me some unexpected behaviour.
Is debugging AIR content on the physical device possible with FlashDevelop remote debugging?

I've hit a snag when trying to debug an AIR app using adl.
Although adl successfully launches, the application never appears on screen / starts up.
eg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[Code].....
Update: I've also since uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Builder (and therefore, the AIR SDK), and it still doesn't work. I think this adds weight to the port conflict, but still leaves me unsure of where / how to proceed
Further update Compiling exactly the same codebase to a AIR installer, installing, and running the application works fine. (Ie., a production release). However, the codebase fails to launch with adl. This pretty much confirms the issue as a local machine config problem somewhere with adl, and not an issue with the codebase.

I have a swf file that I am trying to load into another swf file. I use the "Loader()" to load the 2nd swf into the 1st.My 2nd swf files runs fine on it's own but when I load it into the 1st swf file I get an error that is very vague.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at swf2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()Cannot display source code at this location.Is there anyway I can debug this error so that I get more info on where it is than just frame 1 why this would happen? My 2nd swf is huge so it's a challenge, I am assuming it's got to do with something being referenced at the root. I do use MovieClip(root)

how do you debug external files if they have functions that can only be executed when inside the main movie? I hope this makes sense...so the thing is that a movie just exported shows you the values of the traced items (undefined, numbers,..whatever). When that same movie is published and viewed in the flash player within the main movie, the traced items don't show in the output window.

I don't have a webcam at this computer, and unless someone sends me one, or upps my monthly salary from $100, I won't be getting one any time soon. Sadly, there is some code I would like to test which requires a webcam. Is there any way to (either with Windows, or preferably via AS code) make Flash player believe I am using a webcam, and pass in whatever bitmapData I want the virtual webcam to see? This would be great for more uses than just being a cheapskate.

I'm using Flash CS4 with Win7 and if I create a movieclip symbol in an FLA file such class name such as GreenBox. When I put the following line into my actionscipt 3.0 code, I get the error: "You cannot debug this swf because it does not contain actionscript.The line of code is:vargreenBox:Green Box = new GreenBox();Any ideas what's going on. Never had these problems with CS3 and Win XP.I did double check to see if I had the debugger version on Flash Player.

I'm trying to debug a swf in Flash Professional CS5.5, by running the debug-> Debug Movie -> In Flash Professional. When I do I get teh Adobe Flash Player Security window. It says you are trying to connect to and the I.P. address of the server (e.g. 203.22.35.101). I've opened the settings and added that I.P. under Advanced->Trusted Location Settings... that doesn't help. btw: If I run -> Control -> Test Movie -> In Flash Professional it works fine, but then I can't debug.
