Professional :: Debug From A Remote Location?
May 3, 2006
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'm an application developer, and my standard usage of Flash is as follows: I'm creating an executable application, which contains a ShockwaveFlash object instance, which in turn is displaying a Flash Movie Clip - also created by myself. The executable application and the contained Flash clip are communicating via the ActionScript ExternalInterface (using XML strings) and the FSCommand.
I'd like to be able to debug the ActionScript code of the Flash file while I'm running/debugging my executable application. For that, I need to be able to start a remote debugging session from the Flash object running inside my executable. Problem is, I did not find any way of doing this.
When I publish the Flash SWF file with "permit debugging" checked, I'm able to start a remote debugging session when I'm displaying the file in a player or a browser (the "debugging" option is shown at the right-click menu of the Flash object), but I'm not able to do the same with the object inside my executable (the "debugging" option doesn't exist on the menu).
Environment Details: The executable application is using the ShockwaveFlash COM file to create the ShockwaveFlash object. The executable application is created using VB.NET, Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5. The Flash SWF file is created using Adobe Flash Professional CS4. I'm developing under Windows XP (SP3).

I'm trying to access a flv file on a remote server from swf. It works perfectly from my local machine going to the remote folder. But, when I upload it to my web host, it doesn't load the remote flv. I'm guessing there's some kind of permission issue on my web host. I have a crossdomain.xml file in the root dir with the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><cross-domain-policy><allow-access-from domain="*" /> </cross-domain-policy>

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.

At a certain point in the app flow, a m4v video is streamed from a remote location via rtmp. This works well, except for two little problems:
1. In very rare cases, the video starts playing, but you see no images and only hear the audio. Seems like this happens more often with Chrome, but that is only a guess.
2. In the first frame or so of the video, you hear a noise in the audio. It really is very short, but still a nuisance. This chirp is not there when viewing the same video with VLC or QuickTime player. It IS there when viewing with the Windows Media Player.
Are there any known problems with codecs and the flash as3 video streaming (via NetStream/NetConnection)? The video is composed by using the ffmpeg library (one mess of a library, I can tell you...) to bring together a live-rendered video (using a 3D Engine) and a pre-created *.wav (which does not have the chirp).

I created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?

Can I develop a Flash AS3 download swf that will let a user select a location on their hard drive to download files to and then start the download of multiple files (in the same way I can do with upload)? Or should I zip all the multiple files first and download zipped files to local disk. My users will want to download potentially hundreds of images from a server to local disk so I dont want them to have to click save for each one. Will AS3 let me pass an array of filenames and store the location that the user originally chooses? I ask because this sounds like it would have been not allowed for security reasons.

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 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 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.

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.

I am unable to debug a swf (Test.swf) loaded with Loader (from TestLoader.swf) if Test.swf imports a class from another swf (OneLoop.swf).If I set breakpoints in Test.swf, they will not be hit when debugging TestLoader.swf.I have attached a Test.zip file which contains the necessary FLA and AS files to demonstrate the bug. To reproduce the bug.Load up Test.as, OneLoop.fla, Test.fla, and TestLoader.fla.Then put a breakpoint on line 17 of Test.as (removeEventListener)Then Publish OneLoop.fla.Then Debug Movie on Test.fla.You will see that the breakpoint stops at line 17.Then Debug Movie on TestLoader.fla.You will see that the debugger will stop at line 18 (where I throw an Error), but failed to stop at line 17.I'm using CS4 Pro 10.0.2.This problem only occurs when I import a class from the third swf.Does anyone else know how to fix the problem (without removing the imports or merging the FLAs )?

I am running into an annoying problem with Flash, particularly when I run my program in Debug. Basically I have an AS3 project at some location on my computer (c:/.../Flash/Project/project.fla) with a main script for it (c:/.../Flash/Project/code/projectMain.as). If I try to load in SWF files or JPG files from other places on my computer, I get problems. For example if I try to load files like:
[Code]...
It seems to load them fine. When I click on the movie though, I get this in the output: *** Security Sandbox Violation ***SecurityDomain 'file:///C/.../file.swf' tried to access ncompatible context 'file:///C/.../project.swf And the whole thing stops working. I have read about the security sandbox and allowDomain calls and all that, but I don't see how the domains are different. I am not deploying this to any server or anything, just trying to run the debug swf. I have access to local files by default, right?

I've logged this bug but wanted to post it to the boards in case anyone else is having this same problem. It's been going on since I purchased Flash CS3 pro and has been really crippling my development workflow because I can only get the debugger to work maybe 1 in 4 times.

I am developing an app in Flash Pro CS5.5 to be deployed on the NOOKcolor. I have everything set up for the computer to recognize the NOOK through the USB (was able to reboot the device by using the command prompt window). I can move files onto the device via USB but I want to be able to debug from Flash. I am successfully able to do this with a Droid 2 phone. Is there something on the NOOK that has to be set up for Flash to recognize the NOOK as an android device that it can debug on?

I have solved my remote linking from an external html, to specific swf frame problem. But now, as usual another problem has reared its ugly head. I have a button(s) with a spotlight animation effect in the "over state". It works fine on the "home" page, smooth and clean, but when you link to a frame in the timeline, once in that frame the spotlight effect stills shows up when mouseover, but becomes erratic and very jittery.[URL].. Once there, if you click on about, events, or news, and load any of those pages/frames, you should see the spotlight flicker on mouseover on all buttons

I have inserted services.flv into [URL]. I am using Dreamweaver CS4, and all dependent files, including the flash video are present:
Untitled-2.html
services.flv
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
[Code].....
I am able to successfully use the "Live View" function within CS4. I am also able to successfully preview within IE and Firefox. I've put all files in the appropriate location on the remote server. All files are in my /wwwroot/, except the two files that are in the Script folder, which is in my root. My domain host claims flv files are supported, and Adobe technical support eperiences the same behavior as I, they can play locally, but not remotely. Adobe technical support claims the cause of the problem is the remote server.

I have been using flash for years deploying video for the web.For the life of me I cannot get my .FLV file to import into Flash from my URL.It's already on the server here is the address.I've always used this method.The only thing that is different is I'm now using GoDaddy to host my site instead of 1and1. http:[url]...........I do have the .F4V locally on my machine but I've never been able to get that to play from the remote server... meaning-
I import .F4V file locally into flash.I create a .swf file and place that in the same folder as the.f4v.I use GoLive to make my webpages.I create my webpage and import my .swf and .flv into the html webpage. It plays great locally on my machine.When I upload everything uploads. When I check it all out online, I get no video.

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 two variables that I would like to store in a remote data file which can be accessed by my Flash file. It is for a voting system, so the first variable would be a counter that is incremented each time a user votes, and the second would be the total rating. The average rating would then be calculated from these.
How would one store, retrieve, and then update these variables from the data file?
I can create the system within a single Flash file for a single session, but obviously I'd like multiple users opening the file simultaneously to be able to access the data and update it.

We have a Flash application provided by a vendor. It reads its parameters from an xml file on our web server's file system. However, it can also be spoofed to read its parameters from an xml file sitting on another domain's web server. At first we thought crossdomain.xml might be able to fix this, but we've researched it and understand the purpose of crossdomain.xml. It won't solve this issue.Are there any ways of enforcing that a Flash application reads its input file only from the same server where the Flash application was served? Or is the recommendation just to initialize variables within the Flash app, not relying on an external file.

need to create a simple application that will essentially function as a remote slideshow broadcast service. One presenter will see the show (full screen) and will be able to proceed to the next slide, all other attendees will only see the show (no control) and will see the next slide when the presenter proceeds. I have a Flash Media Interactive Server which can be utilized.
