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.
View 1 RepliesI wanted to make a video player that has normal mode and fullscreen mode. The part I am having trouble understanding is how to handle the video once it gets set to fullscreen. Do I just use the current video or do I get a high quality version of the video to show during fullscreen mode? What would be best practice for this situation?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to follow along with a basic animation tutorial online using ActionScript. It mentions to switch to expert mode from normal mode, but says that to do this, I need to click on a blue arrow with a box around it(which I don't see anywhere)? Where would I click to switch to expert mode? Is expert mode needed to animate certain things(I'm working with a movie clip)?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
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 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 made a flash application using actionscript 3, I wanted this application size to be dynamic, To be able to embed it in any size and let it adjust itself accordingly. I managed to accomplish this, theres a problem though: The original width of the application is 700 pixels. I'm embedding the flash in a smaller size, (400 for example) going to full screen, and when I exit, the application sets itself back to being 700 pixels wide, and isn't adjusting itself to the 400px width of the actual embedding area..

Based on this guide, I have enabled debug level logging and also enabled date, time, level and category logging.
This works great, except now I am seeing all my data that's returned being logged. Is there a way to disable this? I would still like to see the calls logged. I've tried info level, but that turns off request logging.
We are using flex for same. (Although I know flex is meant for web application and air application is best suited for desktop clients, but due to some build issues we can't go for air applications). Now according to our use case we required to read file from local file system which is not allowed in flex application due to sandbox policy. To override it we had planned to use it in local mode (i.e. running from local file system instead of deploying in web container). So after running application in local mode it bypasses sandbox policy and allows to read local file. Eventually we requires remote services call (either using web services or blaze ds) also in our application. To avoid sandbox restriction for network access in local mode we are planning to explicitly grant network access permission to our flex application.
View 2 RepliesI 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've got a fullscreen button which, when clicked, works. However, after a few seconds, Flash automatically exits full-screen mode and reverts to normal mode. I'm running this in the browser. I tried stripping all the code in the fullScreen event handler down to this (I removed toggling between displayStates):
private function fullScreenHandler( event:MouseEvent ):void {
stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
}
It's still happening. Has anyone seen this before?
Is there any way to block the action fullscreen mode to normal mode in video. One way is blocking the esc key. But I am using that key for another purpose.

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 trying to get to a situation in which only if both 2 things are correct then do this and if only one of them is correct, do different thing. I have a flash video player.

I tried this but there is something missing:

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.
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?
Is it possible for Flash debug player to show Flash website online a bit different than what the normal Flash player shows?
By different i mean...the content of the liquid Flash website instead of playing right in the middle it shows a bit off center.,
I have a hidden swf which needs to run in full framerate. Although it is documented that the "sleep mode" due to which flash player goes into 4fps is only for mobile devices. I see that when my swf is not displayed (hidden or in a different tab", I can only get events in multiples of 250ms. Is there a way I can disable this feature for my swf? I can see that this is a great feature, but I just need to disable this for my app.

View 1 RepliesI've always been frustrated when I use the FLV video player component because it does not create the full-screen button For example, I have a 1280x720 F4V video. I want to use the FLV component to play it. But I want it to be on the stage half that size (640x360) and then give viewer option to click full screen to play it at 1280x720 (like YouTube does).So I'm basically stuck with the same old player controller that flash CS4 generates with no full screen capability.

I am currently using Flex (Flash Builder 4) and making web service connections to a Apache PHP Zend AMF server to retrieve data. This works great, but I am wondering what options are available for fault tolerance. I know I can probably set up a second server that the application would switch to in the event it is unable to reach the first server. I am also thinking about trying to give each individual machine some tolerance.
For example, if they at least had the ability to input data to the application, that would be a start. So if they click 'save' and it can not reach the server, it caches it or stores it to a local file until the server is back up. Though lack of being able to do data look-ups might be a big problem. Maybe there are already some libraries or something I can look at to do this?
