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'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.

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.
View 1 RepliesDesigning a flash website with a Flash-scrollbar that works with the mousewheel on your mouse. It works on pc, EXCEPT that you have to click the swf first to get focus on the swf. I used an onLoad javascript to set the focus to the swf, but that doesn't work. You still have to click the swf, after that you can use the mousewheel on your mouse to scroll. Here's a working example: [URL].
View 3 Repliesi have a movie that has worked fine in past during Html test but ive been doing some dubugging using the flash test latly and it runs fine here but when i go back and try to test in Html mode no errors come just the movie never fully starts (starts up about as much as if there was an error).
View 5 RepliesI have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.
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?
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 RepliesThis 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.
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.
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 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'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 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 use Flash debug local and remote without any problem.Today I update Flex and I deselected the options "update flash 9".Then I go to debug a project in Flash CS4.But now debug doesn't works.I reinstall flashplayer_10_ax_debug.exe and nothing change.When I run in browser the menu option "Debugger"(right-click) doesn't appears.
View 1 RepliesWhen the loader finishes, it send the data to a plotter function. the plotter function clears the graphics in a shape called graphLine.It then draws a line from one plot point to another using the lineTo function.Basically ever 3 second it makes this request and redraws the screen and updates the value of a textfield to the current y value. In flex builder 3, it works great in debug mode. The screen updates just fine. However, when I make the release build and test it out in a browser, it loads the data fine, but will not draw it until I stop the graphing process.Here's the code for the graphing function
Code:

I am using Adobe Flash CS3 and press CTRL + Enter to preview the movie , but now I Cann't do it , the movie isn't display anything ( but I can preview only one scene by press CTRL + ALT + Enter). I try to publish the movie, the error message is not display but when I test debug . Flash shows the message that "Error open file 'my flash file path'+.swf" How can I reslove this problem
View 2 RepliesIn Flash, if I Test Movie in normal mode (Ctr + Enter) I get no complaints about accessing URLs. The SWF's sandbox is "localTrusted". However when I debug Test Movie (Ctr + Shift + Enter), the sandbox is different. I then get complaints about accessing URLs; Security Sandbox Violation "...Untrusted local SWFs may not contact the Internet..." if localWithFile, and "...denied due to lack of policy file permissions..." if localWithNetwork.
Is this a "feature"? If so, I'd like to be able to turn it off. It would be nice if there was simply a warning, and not actual failure. To fix it, I could trust the file using global trust settings, but that seems silly just for debugging.
I have simple navigation code setup to step through frames (I'm using Flash instead PowerPoint--too many pictures that are PSDs and illustrations that are AIs to do the conversions over to something PowerPoint understands).[code]When I test it using the debug (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) it works fine.When I publish it, the up and down arrows work but the Home and End keys do not work.They do nothing, no error messages, nothing.Using Flash CS4 Pro 10.0.2 ActionScript 3.

View 1 RepliesMy Flex application is successfully calling functions in a JavaScript file through the ExternalInterface class when these are in the bin-debug folder and the JS file is located in the same directory as the Flex app.But when I test the Flex app on the server, it is not interacting with the JavaScript. The only difference I can find is that on the remote server the JS file is being pulled in from a URL, instead of locally. The JS file URL is in the same domain as the Flex application, therefore I don't think this is a cross-domain issue. What am I missing?
View 2 RepliesI have a Flash file someone made for me 6 months ago. Currently, I needed to update an image in Flash and when I run a test, the old image always shows up.

I'm making a binary socket server for Flash and I'm trying to figure out a way to run Multiple clients in a local environment for testing purposes. Tried to run the exported flash movie in my browser (to open multiple tabs of flash swf) but I just could not figure out how to solve the cross-domain problem. I'm running my server right from my PC (localhost) and just simply want to test my darn Flash document multiple times so I can simulate multiple clients.
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 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 have 20 players in a game and cutting and pasting lots of code except for a few numbers. I have future features that would require over 400 lines of mostly repeated code. So I learned how to use "for", and practiced with a trace command. Traced the results exactly as I thought. However when I apply it to the guts of my function, the movie breaks down. I suspect it's because the function is being called on an EnterFrame command and the for loop I wrote is being executed over and over.
This works when I hand code:
Actionscript Code:
function drill(){GUESS0 = ((guess0min * 60)*1000) + ((guess0seconds * 1000))
GUESS1 = ((guess1min * 60)*1000) + ((guess1seconds * 1000))
GUESS2 = ((guess2min * 60)*1000) + ((guess2seconds * 1000))
GUESS3 = ((guess3min * 60)*1000) + ((guess3seconds * 1000))
GUESS20 = ((guess20min * 60)*1000) + ((guess20seconds * 1000))
//and then 300 more lines of other code}
And then a button later calls this when pressing:
Actionscript Code:
my_MC.onEnterFrame = function(){_root.drill ();
//so _root.drill is continually being called, which is good, because it has all sorts of data that needs to be refreshed, but I think it's screwing with my "for" loop.}
And the following is NOT working.
Actionscript Code:
function drill(){for (i=0;i<20;i++){
"GUESS"+i+" = ((guess"+i+"min * 60)*1000) + ((guess"+i+"seconds * 1000));";}
But when I trace it in a separate test movie, it outputs exactly what I would hope it placed in the code:
Actionscript Code:
for (i=0;i<5;i++){trace("GUESS"+i+" = ((guess"+i+"min * 60)*1000) + ((guess"+i+"seconds * 1000));");}
So at the end of the day, I guess I can trace these results in a test movie and use it to generate what I need, and cut and paste it into the project... but I thought 'for' loops were for saving time AND space. Am I using this code right? Maybe my use of "", or +, or i is misguided?
I've got some xml that I want to use to populate the labels on an array of buttons that I'm putting in with attachMovie. the button(s) load (well, the first one does) and I've got a trace statement that shows the exact data I want in the button labels. But the numbers just refuse to appear in the button labels.the labeling is correct; I've been looking at this for three days and checked the path and naming at least a dozen times.
Code:
for(i=0; i<total; i++){
patMenuHolder_mc.attachMovie("patentBtn", "patentBtn"+i, i, {_x:xPos, _y:yPos})
