I'm having problems with flash debugging on Mac OS. It crashed at various points regardless if I'm using the projector debugger or browser plugin (regardless of browser).
The only common denominator I see is that a method seemingly in the debugging code is causing a security sandbox violation with localhost, and then everything crashes.
P.S. Tried both 9 and 10 debuggers
I am a newbie to Flash. I am working on a template website with a deadline. I was able to change the text, remove items I did not need and add some additional text.....but I cannot get any of the links in either of the two top flash animations (the menu and the header) to work. I am using Flash CS4 (and Dreamweaver CS4). I have tried to add a link to the text, and in the AS. But then they do not seem to be working at all.
Here is a link for a zip'ed file with the index.html webpage, the swf files, and the fla files. Webpage_and_Flash_Files.zip/ I am on a deadline to get this up,
I have found in my experience with Flash CS4 and using a Wacom tablet or Cintiq that the brush sensitivity is unstable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. As long as I open Flash and do not change the brush size, then the sensitivity stays just fine. If I change the brush size then sensitivity disappears and all I can draw is solid lines of a single width.
I contacted Wacom and was on the phone for two hours. After trying every possible fix, we decided it was a Flash error, since Photoshop works. Other machines were tested, other tablets were swapped in and out, new pens were tried, they all had the same problem.
I contacted Adobe and this was their response: "As I understand that you want to use Flash on Wacom and brushes lack pensensitivity . I understand this issue & i found that brushes lackpen sensitivity because it is not compatible with wacom tablet."
This is news to me that Adobe decided to not support Wacom tablets with Flash. Is this for real? I responded saying that the response sounded wrong.

This question is finally answered. I reposted this since the last thread contained unreltaed discussions, I figured this way it would be easier to see the issue and get right to the resolve without scrolling through the meat of the other thread. I have been going through this issue with Adobe and Wacom for months trying to figure it out,

I have a problem with a flash image gallery that I created and have now posted to my website.
When the flash movie is viewed on it's own you can click the main images and you are taken to a product page. However when the flash movie is integrated into the website, the links are random at best and for the most part dont work.
Take a look:
1. Standalone flash gallery
2. Embedded in webpage
I thought that the scrolling marquee to the left of the page might be causing a problem but the problem doesn't go away when I remove this.

View 1 RepliesI've been experimenting with shape tweens using the line tool to make stick figures, and using shape tweens to make the figures move around. It's great fun, but I've been running into a particularly disruptive problem. For example, I'll have a stick figure in one spot at frame 1. I move it across the screen using a shape tween, and bend one of his arms over the course of 10 or so frames. The problem is, Flash seems to be misinterpreting what ought to happen during the tween. Instead of just bending the arm, Flash makes the arm rotate in a full circle. It still ends up where it ought to at Frame 10, but it takes the wrong path to get there. I've attached a video to illustrate what I mean. Look at the upper body piece right at the end. Is there any way I can fix this without having to animate frame by frame?[code]...

This code keeps two seperate MovieClips on different layers "physically" connected while dragging one. But as soon as I place the two MovieClips into a new MovieClip "MainClip" -

i am working on an application which has a huge data. whenever i run my application,the flash player tells me that if i continue,then the system might become unusable.if i choose to continue,then i get correct results.
so is there a way by which,i can disable this warning.
i imported some sound into my movie, and since doin that my preloader only shows when its about 60% percent done, any one know how to make it show from the start?also my sound controls are contain in a movie clip wich slides down when u roll over, using hit tests, when u lower the volume down it works fine, but when the controls slide back up, and then u roll over again the volume is the same, but the slider is back at the top, any ideas?
View 3 RepliesThis may be a total Noob question but I can't seem to get the Flash Debugger to work. I'm trying to test a flash file that interacts with some PHP script. I'm running MAMP under OS X 10.5.8 I've downloaded the Debugger Version of the Flash 10 plug-in and installed it. Created a the mm.cfg in /Library/Application Support/Macromedia with the following content:

I've tried everything, firewalls, reinstalling etc etc. I can't get the debugger to connect no matter what I do.
I'm just writing a simple Air application, with Flex and Actionscript. But any type of debugging on any type of application doesn't work. I get this message
The Flash Builder debugger failed to connect to the running application.
Then often when I try again, I get this message
Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind
Running the program without debugging works fine.
I've got a strange problem that I cannot exactly get my head around. When I compile and start my application with the Adobe Flash Professional 5.5 Debugger (Ctrl+Shift+Enter), the application fails while loading with the following message:
Code: XML ERROR LOADING:skins/test//testskin.xml Error #2032: Stream-Error. URL: file:///C|/test%5Fflash/output/skins/test//testskin.xml The error does not appear when just publishing and starting the application from Flash (Ctrl+F12).
the flash debugger suddenly stopped working, it no longer stops at breakpoints and when I right click on the swf, select debug and choose local host, it says "A connection to the debbuger or Profiler could not be established by Adobe Flash Player 10." or something along those lines, despite the fact that I'm developing my project using flash9 settingssays I should add one line "127.0.0.1 localhost" to a "hosts" file in the windows/drivers folder but I checked and it's already there.
View 5 RepliesI am using Windows 7 Professional and Flash CS4. I installed the flash player debugger, now I can't get rid of it. It slowed Flash down to a crawl. I ran the uninstall_flash_player found on this site. No effect. Flash is still really slow and still shows a ton of information in the output screen when I compile.
View 2 RepliesI just finished porting my AIR application to Flash.It works perfectly fine when I debug it via Flash Builder or when I load the enclosing HTML file in a browser that uses a debugging enabled version of Flash. However, it stops working when I load it a non-debug version of Flash. The "failure" seems to occur when the app tries to send a SOAP message request to our API server. That whole SOAP layer was generated using Flash Builder's Web Services class generation tools.
According to [URL], getStackTrace() is known to cause problems, so I disabled my calls to it but the problem still occurrs.
Is a watch list hidden away somewhere in the AS3 debugger in Flash CS4? I did spend a while looking around the net first. It's much easier to find the watch list in the AS2 debugger.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a large-size dual AS3/Flex project (some parts are pure AS3, other parts are Flex), and I'm experiencing a lot of Flash Debugger crashes.
These crashes aren't completely random - it seems like I can get them to occur with greater consistency when I perform certain actions in my app. However, at the same time, they aren't consistently repeatable - sometimes a set of actions causes my app to crash, and other times, the same steps execute fine without a crash.
I have two questions (carefully worded to remove my personal bias
[Code]...
Damndest thing. Every once in a while, I'll make a change to some part of my Flash application, while working in Flash Builder 4, and when I click Debug Play, it starts running with the old code and the old variables, even though the code I'm looking at in the code window is the new, changed code. I can still advance step by step, but the advances don't align with the new code. They seem to be aligning with the old, not visible code. I can eliminate variables entirely, save, build clean, and when I run, it still shows the old variables in the Variables window. As I can not find any mention of this on the Internet, I logically conclude that this is some ancient curse directed solely at me.
View 2 RepliesI've started getting the following when I try to run FB4 projects:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder.
I've installed the debugger version of the Flash Player. Didn't work. I've reinstalled Flash Builder. Didn't work. I tried using Safari instead of Firefox. Didn't work.
When I go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ in the finder, I can see Flash Player.plugin right there. But when I go to Username/Library/Internet Plug-Ins the entire folder is blank. So I tried copying Flash Player.plugin to the latter folder. Didn't work.
Mac questions (I'm new to mac): Which of these is really the root? Is it normal that there should be duplicate directories like this, with non-duplicate contents??
In FB I opened Windows --> preferences --> Flash Builder --> Profiler --> Player/Browser and browsed to /Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Players/Debug/Flash Player Debugger.app
What does Flash Player Debugger.app have to do with Flash Player.plugin?
Ever since Flash Player 10 came out, the debugger version causes what seems like a crash in my browser, either Safari or Firefox, on Mac OS X. It's been consistently happening with 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2. And it's not just on the applications I develop. Six or seven times out of ten, when I visit sites like Gamespot with Flash video delivery and a banner ad or two, the debugger kicks out an error and, upon dismissing that error, I can't regain focus of my browser. Clicking a window does nothing but trigger the Mac OS X error sound. I have to force-quit and start again.
View 1 RepliesIm having issues with a loaded swf which works stand alone and after alot of googeling, it also works in flash cs5 the original problem was that it lost its stage after being loaded and there for it wouldnt work then i found this code:
if (stage){
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
And it now works in flash but when i test the main.swf in debugger and load this swf into it it dosent work and throws the sandbox security error. 2070.
This is the script in the loaded swf:
if (stage){
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
}

Has anybody else noticed serious performance problems with the flash 10.1 debug player?With the non debugger player my swf runs cpu usages of about 5 -10% percent depending on whats going on.In debug mode it jumps up to 50 % and hangs and crashes. So at the moment it's impossible for me to actually debug my application in flex.
View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know whether or not a debug player for FP 10.1 has been released? The player that is being pushed right now seems to be the 'release'-style beta player.
I checked in the usual locations, like: [URL]..and the Flex SDK nightly source /player/ directory, but those are both still on 10.0.x.y.
I guess they don't always release the debug players immediately with new beta players, but it'd be nice if someone could confirm either way.
I'm just about to uninstall and reinstall at this point but I'm getting my install all screwed up trying to update Flash Pro CS5.5 to use Flash Player 11. I had it fine using the MXP provided in this adobe blog. Though that's 11.0 not 11.1. It did work however.
I downloaded the latest Flash Player / Debugger .exe and the latest SWC for 11.1 and now Stage3D is no longer being seen. Clearly I screwed something up. I uninstalled and reinstalled the MXP after deleting the FP11 XML and FP11 directory but it's not working anymore.
Is there a clear cut simple way to explain how to overlay the latest Flash Player for FPCS5.5? I used the AIR overlay instructions for 2.6 - 3.1 and it worked every time. Now I just need Flash Player overlay instructions. I'm very interested to start trying to Starling framework with Stage3D. I select FP11 to export and it tells me it can't find Stage3D.
I just finished my installation of Adobe Flash Builder 4. I've definitely installed the most recent flash player from Adobe's website onto my computer. Also, in the run configurations of flash builder 4, I changed the source path from the .html file to the .swf file that is generated. I don't need to test it in a web browser, I just want to run the swf in flash player.
I only have 1 .as file in my actionscript project and there is no code written in it other than the package, class and main function statements. When I run the .html file, it runs fine, and debugs fine. However, when I switch the source path to the .swf file, it runs fine but doesn't debug!
When I debug it, the progress gets stuck at 57% and it says "Waiting for Adobe Flash Player to connect to debugger..." in the "Progress" tab. After a few minutes a window pops up that says:
"Failed to connect. The session has timed out. Ensure that you have run the application with debugging on and that I have the debugger version of flash player."
What can I do to fix this? I am on an intel Mac running OS 10.6.5.
I don't know why but i've got fla files that I can't debug.
I'm able to launch debugger and the swf file is correctly run when I do it, but if for instance I add a trace in my code and add a breakpoint on it, it will appear in the output but the debugger doesn't stop on the breakpoint.
It's a pretty big project that uses a quite numbers of external swc libraries, home produced for the most, and I can't figure where could this bug come from. All the more if I create a simple fla file with a simple document class attached to it the debugger works perfectly.
So if anyone already encountered the problem or got an idea over any reason that could make the debugger to not stop on breakpoint,
I am working with a project that is developed in the flash environment, but I love the flex/eclipse debugger in that i can throw a breakpoint in and inspect the vars that are present. Is there a way that I can debug flash in the flex environment?
I have (of course) googled the subject and found that there are several posts on the topic but they are incomplete, missing images, or not working in my environment.
Using Flex Builder 3 : I have been getting this problem in every single debug launch for past few hours. I used to get this earlier too, but once in a while, not with every debug launch. I found out that flex debugger uses a certain 7395 port but I can't figure out how to change it?
