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.
A client is running into some problems with an application, and cannot install the debug flash player, meaning debugging is very hard. Does anyone know of a way to display the system's trace messages in a textfield on the stage for example? This way I could find the error by having it trace to their screen. I suppose a workaround would be to try/catch all over the application but that is not ideal and very cumbersome.
View 2 RepliesHere 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 am trying to build a AS3 only project in Flex....I have tried debug mode, but seems like it takes so long to compile....I can't use trace or check variables...Are there anyway to do debug??
View 1 RepliesI am getting Warning: 'flash' has no property 'prototype' every time I load a swf in my flashlog.txt.Does anyone know how to disable that warning or all warnings in the mm.cfg file or maybe some other way?
View 3 RepliesI 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.

It's a actionscript project in flex builder.
Just purchased Droid Charge. Trying to use it with Flash 5.5 on Windows 7 to debug an application.Computer recognizes phone USB connection (so I can transfer files...)(Menu/Settings/USB settings/Mass storage enabled)I have USB debugging (Menu/Settings/Applications/Development) feature on the phone enabledI have Unknown Sources (Menu/Settings/Applications) feature on the phone enabledWhen I Publish from Flash 5.5 I get the following message: Could not find an Android device to connect to. Please ensure that you have the phone connected,the correct drivers installed, and the phone has USB device debugging enabled.
View 6 RepliesRecently, when I tried to show the results of my work (some Flex app) to my boss, i was quite suprised that application which run perfectly well on my pc, on my boss' pc wasn't displayed properly (the only thing visible was a default grey background). After 3h of trying absolutely everything, finally the app showed up when I changed his Flash Player version from standard one to debug (both was v. 10.0.22.87). Does anyone know what can be the reason of this (any compiler flag or sth). Forcing my boss to installing debug FP was quite ok, but forcing final user of the app to do so is unacceptable.
PS: By showing I mean deploying to Tomcat on my pc and giving my boss a link to the app. We both use Win XP. Also when I installed debug FP for Netscape browsers and standard FP for IE (on my pc) the result is the same - working in Firefox, Opera, Chrome and grey background in IE. I've compiled both as a Debug and as a Release. I'm using Flash Develop 3.0.2 RTM After stripping my app to sth like this - it still works only in debug FP

In CS5 I get the above message. I need to debug so it's very important. Anything I need to do?
View 2 RepliesI chose new actionscript file(3.0) and wrote as simple as trace("Hello World");, but it is not working. I have flash player 10 and i also made sure i have not checked omit trace statements in publish settings.
View 1 RepliesWhen 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'm trying to use actionscript 3.0 and using trace(), it never outputs content of trace of variable either in flash player or in output area? how to coorect or should i enable something?
View 3 RepliesIn have searched the forums and can't find the appropiate answer. I do not have the "omit traces" option checked in publish settings (I use flash CS5). Here is my code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

The creation of a movieclip works fine, but the trace doesn't. This is the main class.
if trying to debug in Flash, and for some reason some of my trace statements don't work. I believe this only happens when they're in event listeners, but it is very annoying. I am using CS5 and coding in Flash Builder 4.
View 4 RepliesI 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.

I am new to actionscript and just like some of you, I would like to start off on the right foot. After several attempts to solve this problem I am now taking a break and reaching out to those in the community. I have created a .as file named Main.as and the code inside main.as is:[code]then i created a new fla file and named it testas. I then typed Main in the Document class under properties.The code has no errors and when I attempt to test the movie, there is no output to the output panel.
View 7 RepliesI'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 am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

ive got a loaded xml list for an mp3 player. from playing track1, when i select track 2, it traces "track1" but then after a second click it traces "track2" and stays on that. the actually music for track2 does load on the first click though, but not the trace. anyone know why on the first click it would still trace the previous track? here is the code for that function...
[Code]...
take a look at the results of these traces:
trace(imgGal); //traces "1"
trace(itemClip1._y); //traces "32"
trace(itemClip[imgGal]._y); //traces "undefined"
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?

var dane:Array = new Array();
dane_xml = new XML();
