I remember reading about a Flash Player plugin which shows the output window when errors occur but can't remember the link or where I read about itDoes this exist or have I made it up?! Would like to use it if it does as could be useful when testing out Flash compostions on the web

I have been developing a flash web app for the past few months and using flash debugger to debug. Now all of a sudden, across all browsers i get a plug-in failure for the debugger only. Regular flash player plug in works and i've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions. Started happening after i set chrome from internal flash player plug-in to debug version so i can debug on chrome browser. Not sure why that would cause a problem.

View 3 RepliesI'm just beginning to learn AS3 and I've been reading Colin Moock's Essential ActionScript 3.0.(I've been doing some exercises on how to randomly choose elements from arrays). All of the book's example codes that I've tried so far (in FLASH CS5) seem to work pretty well. But I'm having a bit of problem with the example code below which is found in chapter 11 (Arrays):
var row1:Array = [6, 2.99]; // Quantity 6, Price 2.99
var row2:Array = [4, 9.99]; // Quantity 4, Price 9.99
var row3:Array = [1, 59.99]; // Quantity 1, Price 59.99[code]....
When I test the movie the output panel displays NaN instead of 117.89.
For some reason when i test the movie the trace part displays in the output without me even clicking on my_button?
PHP Code:
my_button.onPress = function() { _root.clicked = true; } if (clicked == true;) { trace("clicked is true"); }
I'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?
View 5 RepliesSo the issue is that whenever I run the flash movie, the display in the browser (Chrome) ends up being like 30% larger than the browser is when fully maximized. In reality, it should be running in a 800x800px environment. I've tried messing with the stage size and doing things like setting it to FULL_SCREEN and NORMAL and that had no effect. However, attempting to compile the project through the command line with the mxmcl (although it gives different errors atm) show me that the window is properly sized at 800x800px, so it is obvious that the flash builder is the one that resizes it.
View 2 RepliesI have two mp4 video files on webserver, i wanted to play them in flash player(flv player) on my asp.net page, but i couldn't be able to play them, i also tried to play them in quick time player the same prob occured. but i waz giving the accurate path, there were no spaces in mp4 file names etc. Does it need to have mp4 player(or codec etc) installed on webserver?
I have also some wmv files on that server , and i am playing perfectly using silver light player, and media player object on my website.
Is there any way to record what flash player displays? I thought of sampling the framebuffer contents like 30 times per second but i am not sure if that is even possible under Windows.note: i know that there are plenty of software that converts swf to avi, but i wanna do it programmatically because my aim is not to save them to my disk as avi or sth.
View 1 Repliesis it possible to display the output window's contents into a textField so it can be seen in the SWF?
Has anyone tried this?
Is there a way to change flash players audio output device? if not, is there a swf player who has this possibility?
View 2 RepliesI've installed a swf banner on my site but only get either a white box that's the same dimensions as the swf should be or thisContent on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

I have big element at the top of the webpage that sides down with jQuery when a button is clicked. However, if the first post on the blog is a flash video, it shows up on top of the menu. Z-index doesn't help in this instance.
View 2 RepliesI've just installed CS5 on a new laptop using Windows 7. I was running it before on my Windows Vista machine and CS3 on that same machine before that with no problems.However on this install, the 'Output' window isn't scrolling properly. I commonly use a trace on an enterframe event so I can track exactly what is happening to a variable and when changes occur. The Output window scrolls so it is constantly at the bottom and the most recent trace is visible, except when it gets to about 50 it just gives up and stops scrolling. This obviously isn't very useful because I can no longer see what the trace is saying unless I scroll down manually (and then it is instantly outdated considering a new trace is produced each frame).Anyone know why it won't scroll to the most recent output? It always used to on my other installs.

and I set the textArea to html:true (lazy, didn't do it in actionscript, crucify me later)...So, where am I botching it?The text renders fine, but when I click the link, I get diddly in the output window. If I change it to a standard web link like "www.yahoo.com"), it'll launch a browser window.

I've hit a brick wall here. I have a Flash file that displays fine in IE. It also displays fine when ran as a SWF. However, in FireFox, it does not display my scroller. I developed the Scroller component dynamically... everything is drawn from scratch, no library movieClips, etc. I'm starting to think that could be the cause? I've tried many different things:

I've tried many different things: Changed the HTML code to bare bones embedding code.Recompiled in Flex.... same result!Tested on another computer... it worked fine! However, I tested on another computer with FireFox... same problem.
It's so weird.I seperated the Image Slide show component from the Scroller... the scroller had the same effect... didn't display in FF.Played around with WmodeChecked my code for addChild problems, visibilty, alpha properties... nothing out of the ordinary.Asked God.Drank some Gin.Took a break and came back to it.I've reseached Google and the most I could come up with is to compile using FP10. It is FP10. I'm using CS3 and FlashDevelop. When I right click on my Flash file, it does indeed display FP10. Same with Flex.

How can I set up something similar to the output window in my browser. I know I can feed a var into a textbox. How can I set it up so that the values of several vars just keep adding to a list as in tracing to the output window. I want to do this as I am having a problem that only occurs in the browser, not locally. I suspect because of the different speeds at which things occur. I am not throwing any errors. I am running the flash debug player.I set allow debug, hoping that would give me an output in the browser, no such luck.

View 1 RepliesI am getting a swf movie report in the output window and nothing else, cant get rid of it
View 3 Repliesi'm finding that the output window is increasingly useless for debugging. i tend to spam it with hundreds of tracces per second, as a result of tracing things in per-frame functions. unfortunately the useful part of the output for me is usuall the last message that was written.
this is a problem because the output window does not automatically scroll down. Once there's more than enough messages to fill up the visible portion, i find it loses all usefulness, and scrolling through repetitive data to find the part where i did something, to see what output i got, is slow and tedious
i'm aware that stemming some of the flow of debug messages might be a good idea, but this slows down work as i often have to alter the structure of my code in ways which are otherwise useless, to only get debug messages to fire exactly when needed, as well as often having to place them multiple times.
making the output window automatically scroll would be the most ideal solution. in lieu of that i'm almost considering writing my own debug window with text objects just so i can make it behave usefully, but that seems silly and i'd rather not.
how to make the output window auto scroll? i.e. If I have an enter frame event that increments a number and I trace that number, when the traces fill the output window, I cannot see the current traces. I have to go grab the scroll bar and drag it down and since it is constantly changing it is tough to keep up.
View 4 RepliesI am extremely new to as3 and just have started coding in as3. I have the following code in a001.as file
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class FirstCode extends Sprite {
public function FirstCode() {
trace("yes");
}}}
It seems extremely simple and I feel very positive that there is no error in this code.
And this line in a001.fla
Code:
import as3.a001;
The .as file is in as3 folder so I think the import should work fine. The one (and only) problem (that could arise) is that the trace leaves nothing in the output window. I tried various other codes instead of this but to no avail. None work. Its just a blank screen. By the way I have Flash CS4.
What is the actionscript required to close a Flash player window? I want to run a flash movie on my computer that has a button which closes the window, but in Actionscript 3 I cannot add actions to the button.
View 4 RepliesI've created a Flash project that is to be distributed on a CD and launched as a 1024 x 768 Flash player window (so no html, java, etc.). It opens on my Mac just fine, but on my clients PC the top of the Flash Player window is halfway down the screen. Is there anyway to make the window open so it's flush with the top and left of the screen?...and not be in a web browser.
View 1 RepliesI am currently developing a flash application that would allow a user to control a movieclip on the stage using 2 keyboard inputs (like turning 2 knobs in order to align something).I have it set up that on the 2 keyboard inputs, the movieclip moves.What I am looking at doing is using trace statements that I use to track the position of the movieclip, which is just a simple black dot, and having the values of the trace statement show up on screen in 2 dynamic text fields, after being rounded to the nearest whole integer. The dot is in the movieclip entitled mCoordPlane.My script is below:
stop();
mAligned.visible=false;mNotAligned.visible=false;
var letterK:Boolean=false;var letterJ:Boolean=false;var letterD:Boolean=false;var letterF:Boolean=false;[code]......
has anyone ever had a situation where the flash CS4 Output window is blank; it should have several trace statements, and at least 1 error; furthermore the Compiler Errors window is blank; I know there is an error some where ( I updated my papervision3d yesterday ), so I should see some error messages, and the trace statements - but everything is blank;
