IDE :: Debug Mode No Longer Providing Debug Info?
Dec 21, 2009
When I first downloaded Flash CS3 Professional, I was able to enter an exceedingly useful debug mode by compiling using ctrl+shift+enter instead of ctrl+enter. I could toggle break points, step in, step over and view values stored in variables at a whim.
I must have accidentally toggled some option somewhere, because this interface no longer shows up. Instead, the only extra interface I get is the output menu with the following text "Attemping to launch and connect to Player using URL <file path> [SWF] <file path> - 71984 bytes after decompression" and while the swf does halt if the as3 code reaches a break point, it doesn't tell me which break point nor give me any options to progress the flow (not even through the pull down menu I have to utilize in order to end the so called debug session).

I have a set of users who run my application in non debug mode. Off late they have been reporting lot of issues. But I am not able to debug as there is no log file.Is it possuible in flex 3 to do logging in a file without running in debug version. I understand trace only works if we run application in debug version.

Is there any way to debug fullscreen mode? I Ctrl+enter and I see the swf but the fullscreen button never works, like when I forgot the allowFullScreen param in my HTML code.Do I have to add some parameter to the CS5 properties?

I have this very strange problem on a big flex app where it would run fine with the debug swf if the user has debug flash installed but will have some disparities for people with standard version of flash.These disparities include:No pop upsloose all event catchingWeird positioning of a buttonI read somewhere that updatedisplaylist was handled differently ?For now i will try the export release way instead of the bin-debug swf, and to go back in the commits to see what was the turning point.

I have a swf that I need to attach the flex builder debugger to. I have full access to the source code, and can make a debug build of this swf.
However, this swf is being loaded by a non-debug build of another swf which I don't have source code to, and can't make a debug build with.
I've tried mocking this up with two very simple swfs, and while it works fine when both are debug builds, when the outer swf is a non-debug build, while I can get the debugger to connect, I don't get trace messages, breakpoints don't work, and it seems to lock up the flash app.

SWF caching has bit me quite a few times now. I want to debug in the browser because that's where the swf will run. But Firefox sometimes caches local files incorrectly, thinking that it has the latest version when it doesn't. This can cause a huge headache with debugging, causing me to wonder why something doesn't work no matter what I do.
The workaround I use is to create a custom html file in bin-debug that loads the swf with a random string appended so Firefox never caches it. This works fine, but every time I start a new project, I need to remember to do this.

I've had no such problem like this until today. Basically when i try and drag an object from photoshop to the stage in flash, everything looks great on the stage and usualy everything looks fine in the test / debug mode. But suddenly i've come up against a very anoying problem. Everything looks great on the stage, but as soon as I go to test the movie, the image quality of whatever it is I have imported goes terrible. Like its been compressed to less than 10kb!The image looks fine on the stage but the problem accurs when I try to test to movie.I have tried importing different size images, not transforming the images in flash, making sure all the settings (I know of) are on high.

Here is my code in its entirety. It won't trace when I Test Movie, but when I debug, it works fine.
import flash.events.*;
function scrollWheelHandler(e:MouseEvent){
trace(e.delta);
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, scrollWheelHandler);
I hate flash. This is in a new project btw. wtf is going on?

I want to release my flash application not in release mode but in debug mode to see result of trace() after releasing the app.
I don't care that debug mode makes processing speed little slow.Except for processing speed, are there disadvantages to release flash application which was compiled in debug mode?Is it possible that the app throws exception or Flash Players of the app's users crash due to debug mode?

I'm currently trying to implement an automated bug reporter for a Flex application, and would like to return error messages to a server along with the function/line number that caused the error. Essentially, I'm trying to get the getStackTrace() information without going into debug mode, because most users of the app aren't likely to have the debug version of flash player.My current method is using the UncaughtErrorEvent handler to catch errors that occur within the app, but the error message only returns the type of error that has occurred, and not the location (which means it's useless). I have tried implementing getStackTrace() myself using a function name-grabber such as [code]
but that will only work because of arguments.callee, and so won't go through multiple levels of function calls (it would never get above my error event listener).Anyone have any ideas on how to get informative error messages through the global error event handler? There seems to be some misunderstanding. I'm explicitly avoiding getStackTrace() because it returns 'null' when not in debug mode.

I've migrated to FDT from flashdevelop and kind of have a hard time getting things to work the way I'm used to. In Flashdevelop, you could easily choose if the compiled swf was a release or debug version. In FDT however, it seems like there is no way to compile a version that has debugging information without it automatically opening up the debug perspective with a ton of debug windows, a profiler and actually entering debug mode.
As an extra plus, I keep getting a message saying "This feature is only available in FDT Max", although from what I know the debugger is included in the free version. Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do or should I just get used to this new way of working?

I have developed an site in flash doesnt throw any error in Flash IDE debug mode, But when I launch this in web browser it throws error.
Disadvantage of showing error in browser window is that it wont show the line number of the error. Is there any otherway to get the line number of error, when running in the browser.

I'm using Win7 with Flash CS4. When I try and create a symbol in the fla and then use it in AS code, I get the error "You cannot debug this swf because it does not contain ActionScript."I will get this error if I select export into first frame on the properties box in the fla.[code]in my AS3.0 code. GreenBox being the class for my symbol I created.This seems to be some issue with Win7, as I don't get this error when I run the same files on win XP.

This has never happened before. One of my .fla's suddenly won't trace at all. Anywhere I put a trace statement, it does not work. On the main timeline, in an MC, in a function... nothing!
Is there an option that I could have accidentally turned off or on?
In the meantime I'm debugging with dynamic text.

I installed the update to Flash 8 that allows for remotedebugging, and I had it all set up and working over the past weekor two. But, all of a sudden it's not working for me anymore.I wasable to access it by right clicking my movie from within thebrowser and selecting "Debugger", but for some reason the optionisn't available anymore. I've rechecked my settings according tothe livedocs, and ensured the swd file is in the same dir as theswf, but no dice.

I am using CS4 and adding scipt to the Actions Frame for a 3rd party component using AS3.The swf is being used by an ASP.NET page.I'm trying to get Remote Debugging running - I had it running yesterday, but something changed and I don't know what. So, now none of the breakpoints are being recognized.
-I create the swf file with debugging enabled.
-I start the CS4 Remote Debugging.
-I start my ASP.NET app in Debug Mode from VS2008.
-I get the Adobe dialog allowing me to connect to the debugger. (Before the problems occurred, CS4 debug recognized the flash player automatically.)
-The CS4 debugger recognizes that the player is running since the output frame updates with "[SWF] /Flashloaded/Flashloaded.swf -56913 bytes after decompression"
- But, NONE OF THE BREAKPOINTS ARE BEING RECOGNIZE!!! And no Variables show up in the Variables Frame.
- YES - I am using a debug version of the flash player. I have tried both version 9 & 10.
- Nothing is being entered in my flashlog.txt file.

I have both CS3 and CS4 web preium installed on my system. Ihave started working in CS4 and found that the debug window willnot work. I created a new Flash CS4 fla and added some breakpoints.It seems to run without stopping at the breakpoints and displayingmy trace statements. I have a ticket into support but no one hasanswered it yet. I remember this happening when I installed CS3 webpre but can't remember what I did to fix it. Is a uninstall of allthe products neccessary? Or should I just uninstall Flash.

Flash is ignoring my actionscript Even when debugging it gives me the error "You cannot debug this SWG because it does not contain ActionScript." There's very few commands in the script and shouldn't be overloaded. Here's the link for the fla. [URL]..

When I debug it simply refuses to stop at the breakpoints, thus making my work flow miserable. I did some searching on Google and seems this has been there since version CS3. I never found a solution for this. I reinstalled on top of the current installation and nothing happened and then did a complete installation and still it's the same. Check the video.
