IDE :: CS5 Output Window Not Scrolling
Jan 30, 2011
I'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useful because I can no longer see what the trace is saying unless I scroll down manually (and then it is instantly outdated considering a new trace is produced each frame).Anyone know why it won't scroll to the most recent output?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.

i'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.

I'm quite new to AS3 (coming from php/c#) and like it very much. My problem: trace doesn't output anything in the Output window anymore?!

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?

Here's what I started with:
[code]...
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.

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.

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.

I 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.

I 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]......

So 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.

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;

When I run this code I get an error in the output window. I was getting error 1180 I think its because when it creates the container movieClip it doesn't know where it is, I think I need to create the holder movieClip and pass it in some where but I don't know where.
Code:
package {
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I have a button that, when it is clicked, should cause a text box to appear. I can make text appear as a trace so I know the button's working, but I have no idea how to either get the trace onto the stage - it only appears in the .fla .output window. I think what would be preferable would be to get a text box to appear as the event but can't work it out....

I have just followed the tutorial on the scrolling window, but instead of one button for each page, want to have just one up and down button. If you know what I mean. Maybe an array of y places and when I press the down button it goes down one. Really don't know where to start.

I'm running FMS 4 Dev on my win XP SP3 machine, also running flash cs5 professional on same machine. I get the server admin screen to come up and it says it's running. I'm using a tut book on FMS and trying to run the first script in the book. It's long but I'll add the script at the bottom so you can see what i'm doing. In the server app folder I placed another folder called vid2 with nothing in it just like the book told me to do. I wrote the script line for line out of the book. When I test my movie it lays out my video window and buttons. It diplays my ugly mug on the screen. when I press the record button it does nothing. when i press the stop button the output window shows me an error of "#1009 can't access properties or methods of a null object". I assume that this is telling me I do not have a net connection.
when I types in the example it had an IP address in the code.How do I know the correct IP addy to my dev server? If I'm doing development and testing on the same machine do I even need to know this? 2) How will what I'm doing now differ from leasing space from an FMS provider?

package{ import fl.controls.Button; import fl.controls.TextInput; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.net.NetConnection; import flash.net.NetStream; import flash.events.NetStatusEvent; import flash.events.MouseEvent; [code].....

The answer to my question is possibly easy, yet I haven't found an example of solving it in the web, nor have I found a solution reading ActionScript reference. My problem is the following: I have a big UIComponent derivate element inside a Scroller (spark.components.Scroller) window. The Scroller class is great because when my canvas element, that changes size dynamically, exceeds its boundaries, scrollbars appear automatically and handle scrolling of my UIComponent inside it. However, I'd like not just to be able to Scroll using these automatically appeared scroll bars, but also by using a pan tool that I will myself implement (similar to the hand tool in Adobe software, for example). The thing is that I am not able to modify correctly the element's position inside the Scroller window.
I tried, as a first approach, accessing to my elements' 'x' and 'y' properties, however, when changing them, I dont get the resulkts wanted. The code for it is the following (in which, for symplifying reasons, I used a text label as my 'inside' element, and two buttons as an external scroll controller, instead of a hand tool)

I'm trying to create a 'tickertape' (horizontal scrolling text that reloads and loops in a masked window once finished playing). At the moment for visual purposes I have generated the following. This is linking to a movieclip at the moment but doesn't loop once finished... it just keeps incrementally scrolling until it probaby ends up in infinity somewhere...

I have a spark List with an item renderer and a tile layout. If I scroll by clicking with the mouse on the scroll bar and trying to scroll with the mouse wheel after that, there is a problem: The interval of the scrolling is oversized, instead of scrolling one item down (or up) the List scrolls 4 items down (or up).
