I have a swf that crashes the Flash plugin on Chrome. It crashes Firefox entirely. I'm trying to debug the swf to figure out what part is causing the crash. The problem is, before I can start using any debugger, the plugin crashes. I don't know of any way to get a backtrace on the crash. Is there some other way I could debug this swf?

View 4 RepliesI'm running out of ideas on what I can do to fix this issue, so I'm coming here for assistance. For the past few weeks, I have been having ongoing issues with the Adobe Flash plugin crashing consistently. This happens on every flash playing website, including YouTube. I experience the following symptoms when playing flash video:Mozilla Firefox
- Sometimes the movie will start, and then I will get the flash plugin has crashed message and the option to send a crash report.
- Sometimes the movie won't start at all and I'm immediately presented with the crash.
- Refreshing the window sometimes will succeed, but again sometimes I get the crash immediately and other times I get it part way through the movie.
Internet Explorer:
- Whenever the plugin crashes, it actually crashes the entire tab of Internet Explorer. No refresh page fix for this one folks.
I have performed the following:
- Ensured that both Firefox and IE are updated... they are.
- Ensuring that the flash plugin is the most up to date version... it is.
- Uninstalled, and reinstalled the flash plugin from Add / Remove Programs
- Uninstalled Flash using the flash uninstaller from the website, and then installing ver 10.0... still crashed.
- Updating from 10.0 to 10.1... still crashed.
I don't recall installing anything additional on my computer besides Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Civilization V within recent months. I'm running Windows 7 Professional which is constantly up to date, and the protection I have on here is Microsoft Security Essentials. I can't think of any application that would interfere with Flash enough to crash it.
I recently started using Mac OS X for a flex/actionscript project and having a problem with flash player debugger plugin for the browsers:
OSX: 10.6.3 Browsers I tried: firefox, safari and chrome Flashplayer debug "Flash Player 10 Plugin content debugger (Intel-based Macs)
Whenever I open a page containing a flash content, my browser crashes due to flash player plugin's crash.
I checked the version of my flash player debug plugin with [URL]
and as the version checker is written in flash, my browser crashes a few seconds later.
I am using version 10,0,42,2 (debug edition: yes)
This is what I see in the crash log:
Process: WebKitPluginHost [338]
Path: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/WebKitPluginHost.app/Contents/MacOS/WebKitPluginHost

I've noticed that when debugging using the eclipse flash builder plugin, one cannot drill in to the key set / values of a flash.utils.Dictionary in the Variables view. Even after selecting the "Show Logical Structure" button. Does anyone else run into this issue? Is there anyway I could see the see all of the keys / values when debugging (apart from writing a loop to do this or manually testing possible keys in the Expressions view)?
View 1 RepliesIm the new kid on the block so I apologyze if I'm not doing very well.Everything works fine till the moment in which I set the wmode param of the flash movie to transparent, then the movie completely disappears (it loads, as I can listen at the sounds) but it doesn't show.I would like to have a full background image with the transparent flash movie over it, that's all, if somebody can tell me how to fix this or even a new way to do it, it will be so good!!Here is my code, so simple, by the way:
$(document).ready(function(){

an answer here opening swf files using WebKit framework says the following about running SWF movies inside WebView inside Cocoa application: "because the Flash plug-in is not garbage-collection supported, the plug-in won't work if your application uses garbage collection".
Meanwhile, an answer here Flash AS3 animation in Mac vs Windows discusses Flash garbage collection on Mac (likely in Safari) and says that it sucks but it does exist.
So is the first claim about no garbage collection in WebView false or is the WebView plugin distinct from Safari plugin?
the document class of my .fla file has a lot of references to elements on the stage, I use fdt for the .as, but everytime I need to debug I have to switch back to Flash IDE, I read this tutorial So, How could I debug my project with fdt and keep working with the Flash IDE just for the graphic part?

I have a working website online with mysql database.My flash app starts there so I can't debug games locally.What debugging tool can I use - monster 3 - just seen it - is that a good option?Also it looks like you can use monster locally - what's wrong with the flash debugging tools?
View 5 RepliesI tried SwfObject for loading swf on a website. It is all good with webkit and mozila based browsers but not with IE.[URL].. In IE 8 the footer not loading, it like crashes after the swf loads. In IE 7 the player not working, so the footer loads.
How can I debug it? I have a Mac, Linux, Win7 with IE 8 64 bit. On IE 64-bit it gives a message to update the flash player but there is no update for this player from Adobe.
I'm using the iPhone packager that's part of Air 2.7 (adt -package ipa-ad-hoc ...) for a fairly large application. (It takes about ~30 min to run the packager.) When the app runs on the iPhone, it will crash almost immediately-- long before it gets to my code. The crash log shows
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0xc0067bdb
The debugging facilities included with Flash Builder only work after the app has launched-- there doesn't seem to be anything to help me figure out why its not launching. I've been able to get toy 'hello world' apps working, but I'm stymied here. Anyone else run into this problem? And, if so, what did you do to diagnose it?
I am ctrl+ shift + enter on my .fla file. And have put my breakpoint on one of as file. I am opening same swf file in web browser. I have set enable remote debugging in flash. But still not able to go the breakpoint
View 1 RepliesMost of my applications are a combination of VB.NET and Adobe Flash, such that the VB application is displaying a Flash file inside the main form (using Adobe's COM object). The VB application is communicating with the Flash file via the ActionScript ExternalInterface and FSCommands (using XML strings). I'm having a hard time debugging the applications, since when an error occurs withing the Flash file (due to a bug in the ActionScript code) I'm getting a non-informative exception.
What I'd like to do is to debug both codes at once. At the very least I'd like to see the runtime error output as it is shown when I'm working with Adobe Flash. At the best scenario, I'd like to be able to hook my VB.NET code with the Actionscript code such that I can use breakpoints in both.
I have a SWF that I wish to debug on with the flash debugger. I have the debug flash player and the 'Debugger' context menu option is greyed out. If I check the 'Permit debugging' option in the SWF publish settings, this does not become enabled.
My hunch is that this is down to the fact that my SWF is being loaded by another parent SWF. Before I embark on a potentially large job to republish this parent SWF, I wanted to gauge whether it was worth it by determining:
Does the parent SWF also need debugging permitted?
Is it only the parent SWF? Or do all SWFs in the scene need to be published with the same settings, no matter where they appear in relation to the target debug SWF?
Are there any other reasons for the debugger option being unavailable to me in my movie?

Edit: Environment: I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and Adobe Flash CS4.
I got the link for the same but this is for Flex. So how can I use this code for flash CS4. What changes are required for flash (fla) file? I import the MyCustomLogger (as per example given) in flash I am confused how to trace the global trace()in flash.
This is the link [URL].
I am working with a project that is developed in the flash environment, but I love the flex/eclipse debugger in that i can throw a breakpoint in and inspect the vars that are present. Is there a way that I can debug flash in the flex environment?
I have (of course) googled the subject and found that there are several posts on the topic but they are incomplete, missing images, or not working in my environment.
m working on an Adobe Flex application that loads lots of Flex Modules and other Flash sub-applications and Flash resources. Each time one successfully loads the flashlog.txt and Flex Console show a trace like "[SWF] filename.swf - [filesize] bytes after decompression". Specifically:[SWF] Main.swf - 1,361,299 bytes after decompression [SWF] core/Core.swf - 516,390 bytes after decompression
I don't want to disable traces because I am debugging, but these traces are rather noisy. How can I suppress only the [SWF] loaded traces?
Where can I find a specification for the Flash/ActionScript debugging protocol? I would imagine that the protocol is public, as there are plenty of open source debuggers; If you're curious, I'm implementing an ActionScript Bytecode (ABC) to CIL compiler, and I'd like to make the resulting assemblies debuggable via standard flash debuggers.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a flash, virtually it has 2 columns, right side play a video, and the left side will display some text. But there is a problem. The flash and text both are fine when I play flash in window mode, however, when I press Ctrl+F enters into full screen mode, the text won't show up. If I exit the full screen, the text show up again. Go back to full screen disappear again.So I try to debug the flash by dumping some trace result to the Output panel. Since the problem only happened in full screen mode, so I really need to test the flash in full screen mode. But I cannot find a way to test the flash (Ctrl+Enter) in full scree mode.why the text disappear OR Why to test flash in full screen mode?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on an Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 iPad application. I have only a humble 13" MacBook to work with. I am being aggravated by the problem of debugging my application in the Flashbuilder's iPad simulator.

Is there some setting in Flash Builder 4.5 that would scale the iPad simulator to fit the available screen real estate?
View 2 RepliesI just updated my AIR runtime to 3.0 and noticed that my AIR application doesn't work anymore. So I tried to debug it it with Flash Builder, but when I run it there, everything works just fine. So I uninstalled the AIR runtime completely but noticed that I can execute my AIR app within Flash Builder still just fine. So the AIR runtime used within Flash Builder seems to be a different one than the systemwide installed AIR runtime. How Do I chose within Flash Builder which runtime to use and how do I update this runtime?
View 1 RepliesI tried to search, but couldn't find anything on the topic. In many languages in eclipse you can execute code in the middle of debug session. Usually it's done through the console.
Is there a way to do the same thing in the Flash Builder? EDIT: Ok, i'll to explain better. Is there a way to execute some code in the middle of the debug session? Like in python you can type in console in pydev(eclipse) when the program is paused(being debugged) and run any code you want.
Is there a debugging tool for Flex that functions like Silverlight spy or FireBug?
