Is it possible to log any and all errors in Flash? The debug player definitely has access to the information when a bug is encounted, is there a way to get that info and send it off in the background?
View 7 Repliesi have written a class that is basically a bunch of faders that lets you drag your mouse along and draw curves. when you hold the mouse and go outside the movie clip though, you get lot's of reference errors. it doesn't seem to affect much, and for the moment i am just catching the errors with try / catch, and not responding to them. is this considered good practice, or should i try and track own the problem further, seeing as it seems t be working fine as-is?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to retrieve the debug information for all unhandled errors and perhaps output that error to a web script (php etc)? I was looking for a listener which could listen for any error which is thrown. Otherwise how would you ever know what errors happen in the public? People need to be running the debug flash player to see errors. So assume there would be a way to record them also.
View 1 RepliesI have a class DataFile which is the top level class that I am serializing. DataFile contains an ArrayCollection which in-turn contains objects which extend ArrayData, each which overrides readExternal in different ways.
Over the course of the development the ArrayData object from version 1.0 is now different than the ArrayData object in version 1.1.
This causes deserialization to fail, most often with a null object error.[code]...
I'm trying to write some code to catch all Errors and ErrorEvents however i cant seem to get it working for thrown Errors, only ErrorEvents.
The following works fine
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.ErrorEvent;
[Code].....
Based on this guide, I have enabled debug level logging and also enabled date, time, level and category logging.
This works great, except now I am seeing all my data that's returned being logged. Is there a way to disable this? I would still like to see the calls logged. I've tried info level, but that turns off request logging.
I can't seem to get any logging in flashlog.txt. I've read through both articles:

My home in XP is H:. So currently I have the flashlog.txt file here: H:Documents and Settings(username)Application DataMacromediaFlash PlayerLogs
mm.cfg is here: H:Documents and Settings(username)
mm.cfg contains:
TraceOutputFileEnable=1
ErrorReportingEnable=1
MaxWarnings=0
As far as I can tell, there are not changes in logging from 3 to 4 -- is this the case?I ask because we change the LOGDIR location, and while our test systems are okay for unknowns, our public systems need to be uniform (plan ahead).
View 2 RepliesI have one particular FLA that is crashing every time I try to compile (after switching to Snow Leopard). Flash just stalls and I am forced to use "Force Quit"... I have no idea what could be causing this and I cannot find any crash report. Where on the system does Flash put crash logs?
View 1 RepliesI 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?
It's like this: I got this .swf which takes a variable in the url, like: myswf.swf?id=1. I put it on my server and I embed it in a html-file on my server and it works fine. The swf takes the parameter(id) and it uses it correctly. THOUGH.. When I let some other person embed it in a html-file on their own server (you know, like you do with Youtube videos) it seems as if the swf doesn't get the parameter. If I run the html-file locally on my computer and links the <embed> tag to thesite.com/myswf.swf?id=1 it doesn't work neither, though if i link it to the local swf in the same folder it works fine. I don't get it, what's the problem here? Did anyone experience the same thing, and if so, did you solve it? How?
View 3 RepliesWhen the user clicks and drags across the movie, it changes frames--forward or backward according to which direction they drag. When they're on the last frame it should go to the first frame, and vice versa, if they're dragging in the associated direction.For some reason, there seems to be a minimum speed of mouse movement to go across this point, where it's not present to go between any other pair of slides.Here's the code:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopClick);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickStart);

In my workplace we are mantaining a lot of ecommerce websites,some coded better than others. On some of those, sometimes uncaught exceptions are thrown, and showed by the alertbox from the flash player debug (If you have it installed).To rise the average user experience I'd like to report all those exceptions throught a in house tool we already have.Is there a way to catch those exceptions?Maybe the flash player debug exposes them to javascript, or in some other way.
View 2 RepliesConsider this scenario we have a class A which is singleton it has a function Sum(a,b) ** . Now we have two classes **Class B and Class C respectively. Both classes (B,C) call add function and listen for a event.
Class A
{
function add(a:int,b:int):void
{
[Code]....
Similarly there is a C and D class. Now when lets say both classes call A's add function (when A is singleton) how does one insure that the right answer is returned to the right listener.
Secondly what if the calls are changing something, is there a locking in singleton?
Firstly I feel this question is not a duplicate for : Easiest implementation of onReleaseOutside in AS3?
Now, the problem , I want to do some action when the mouse_down happened inside the stage, but the mouseup happened outside it. e.g check google finance charts, try dragging the change range divider and then make the drag such that your mouse exists the browser screen, and then do a mouse_up outside the browser, this will trigger some action inside the stage , i.e make the range stick to the position it was, when the mouse exited the window.)
I know how to catch usual lowercase letters. I'm using KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and compare the code to the ASCII table to find out which key was pressed. Now, I also want to be able to find out if there is, for example SHIFT+A pressed, and I have no idea how to implement this. I mean, in my program SHIFT and A are absolutely different keys which have nothing to do with each other, and they both will call KeyboardEvents when pressed. In Georgian alphabet some letters are typed by combination of SHIFT and English letters, for example W on Georgian keyboard means წ, when SIFT+W means áƒ. Absolutely different letters, as you can see. And I want to be able to catch both, coz I'm currently developing Georgian-language game.
View 2 RepliesI have a series of .swf files that I inherited from an old version of a site I'm trying to rebuild.
When flash_element.submitForm() is called, they POST some data directly to a static url ("/submit"), then depending on the response, reload the browser page.
I would very much like to capture the data that they POST using javascript - preferably without it getting sent at all - so that I can have more intelligent logic to handle to request/response than is built into the .swf files I've inherited.
Basically: When a flash object makes a http request, can I catch and cancel this event in Javascript?
I've been developing in flash for about 5 years now and consider myself a solid intermediate level developer, but I have a gap in my knowledge of events. I don't understand when bubbling events or catching events would be beneficial. I'm guessing there is a very obvious use for them, and being mostly self taught I've probably developed 'work arounds' to solve whatever issue they fix.
I've read the documentation and programmed a few test cases, but either for the interfaces I've developed or for whatever reason I've never ended up using them.

View 3 RepliesError #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.That's what I see every time I try to load an image that doesn't exist using a Loader. I'm getting a list of URLs and can't validate if they're pointing to anything useful. Whenever it encounters a 404 it gives me that error.
I have tried to catch the error with every available IOErrorEvent there is (there are 7 of them),but none of them seem to capture the 404. Is there some other network event that I can be looking for to catch this condition?! I feel like I'm missing something obvious. What I'd really like is to be able to catch the event regardless of its description and just deal with it... sort of like
myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.*, dealWithError);
But that's illegal. I even tried catching
HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS
but that never calls back because, I guess, it gets the HTTP status after it deals with the error events, so, as it fails on the "unhandled" error event, it just gets lost. Are there events that aren't in the IDE that I'm overlooking?
I have an issue catching a custom event that I am firing. I have a view, let's call it "A" which calls a webservice "B", and when that webservice returns with data it fires a custom event "C". "A" is listening for that custom event but never hears it being broadcast. I have trace() lines in each method of the classes and they all fire in turn except the listener.
View 9 RepliesI'm working on a project, where i need to display info about a banner swf file, and return it to a javascript function. When I'm at dimensions and load time it is quite easy, but I also need to determine what URL does the banner direct all the clicks.So The idea i have is to load these banners inside another swf, that would be a container. and from this container i hope i could get more information about the banner, and then call some javascript functions from the container, to output the result.But the problem is, i can't find a way to prevent getURL() function (in the contained banner swf) and return the url that has been called.Is it possible to catch a getURL event, prevent browser from going to that url, and return the URL that has been called?
