Flex :: Flash - Debug Mode Disparities?
Jun 3, 2009
I 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.

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.

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'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 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 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.

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?

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.

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 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 a Flex 4 application which connects to ASP.NET webservice based on FluorineFx. It is authenticated by cookies via RemoteObject.setCreadentials()
Both applications connect to FMS server and talks to each other via RTMFP direct connection (P2P).
I want to debug both instances of this application in Firefox and Internet Explorer at one time by single click (F11).
Now I can debug only in one browser by running Debug in Flash Builder 4. I have created double browser runner with bat file registered as default browser in Preferences > General > Web browser that looks like this:
start "IE" /b "c:Program Files (x86)Internet Exploreriexplore.exe" -private %1
start "FF" /b "c:Program Files (x86)Mozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe" -private %1
But this connects the debugger only to firstly run instance of the application in Internet Explorer.
How can I attach to and debug both instances?

I've been working in Flash BUilder 4.0. I installed Flash Builder 4.5, and switched to the workspace I had used for 4.0. Then we were told to go back to 4.0, and now I can't run or debug. I can build, but then I have to double click on the .html file to run. Right clicking doesn't bring up run or debug, and the run and debug icons are not in my toolbar.

The company I am working for has a flash component (using flex and cs4) that crashes intermittently in chrome, FF and IE. (so far only win32 platforms)
I submitted a bug report to Adobe but have not heard anything back from them. Their support process seems like a black hole. WE can get a dump from Flash using these steps but after submitting the bug we got no help at all.
We loaded this into MS visual studio but can;t get decent stack information because there are no symbols for the flash stuff.
Microsoft and other companies provide symbols to help with debugging and we would like to get that from adobe. Is there any way to make progress on this?
Does anyone know where to get flash symbols or how else we can make progress?
It is hard to debug the process if the container just dies.
the binary is flash10c.ocx
I just spent a painful hour on the phone with adobe folks - and the final answer from one of them (I spoke to about 8 people) was that they do not have a per incident purchase plan for developer support for flash.

I am debugging both a flash cs4 project and a flash builder project, actually the flash builder project will load the flash cs4 project thru swfloader, but the system can only support one debugger at a time. So I am seeking a method to debug it simultaneously...

There doesn't seem to be a way to access stack traces for a released version of a Flex app running on a generic user's non-debugger version of flash. I can still get access to the error number, but that's just not good enough in some cases.
Was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to approach this. All I can think of is logging as many events as possible in some buffer and then dumping that to the server when a crash happens. I've implemented this and it's ok but, unfortunately, adding logging all over the place doesn't seem very practical if your code base is reasonably extensive. But maybe there's a catch all way to log all sorts of stuff in some simple way that I have not thought of - some sort of centralized listener? Or maybe some other approach?
Will take any advice (although ideally skip the "you should test your app before you release it"?).

Recently, 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

I am having some weird trouble with getting my Flex Builder 4.5 environment set up and working. I am currently debugging with the stand alone version of the debugger, though I have the same problem using the versions for Firefox and/or Chrome. It works fine as long as I do not include any break points, if I do include break points (anywhere in the code) the debugger just goes unresponsive until I terminate the process from FB.

Is it at all possible to connect the Flash Player debug version to the debugger in Flex Builder using source code? I'm running an app which has no right click menu, and I therefore can't right click and select connect to debugger.

In my flex 3.5 project, I have a class (MyItem) extending Canvas. In this I have declared a private variable named itemInfo which is type of ItemInfo (which is another subclass of Canvas).
I wrote code to hide/show the iteminfo when the mouse is over/out of MyItem. I am not getting any error but it is not showing the itemInfo as expected, when debugged the code, surprisingly the variables tab in debug window does not have the variable itemInfo at all.
I have declared a dummy:int variable and it is also not visible.

I'm building a video player using Flash CS4 (hereby referred to as "Flash") to create the graphic symbols and compiling and debugging with Flash Builder 4 ("FB4"). Here are the steps I take in my current workflow: --Create the graphic symbols in Flash. I've created a few different symbols for the player, but I'll focus on just the play/pause button ("ppbutton") here. --In the Library panel, I go to the ppbutton symbol's Linkage properties and link to a class named assets.PlayPauseButtonAsset that extends MovieClip. I do not actually have an assets package nor do I have a class file for PlayPauseButtonAsset as Flash will create them for me when I publish.
--In Flash's Publish settings, I set the project to export a SWC that will be used in FB4, called VideoPlayerAssets.swc. --After the SWC is created, I create my FB4 project called "VideoPlayer" and add the SWC to my path. FB4 creates the class VideoPlayer in the default package automatically. --In VideoPlayer.as, I import assets.*, which imports all of the symbol classes I created in Flash and are available via VideoPlayerAssets.swc. I can now instantiate the ppbutton and add to the stage, like this:

I have firefox 3.6.15 with flash debug version 10.3. whenever an error occurs a popups comes up with the error and a stack trace but it does not line numbers of each leaf in the stack trace which makes it more difficult to debug. how to configure it to actually show line numbers ?
I think it may relate to how I compile my flash application. (i think!) i use eclipse FDT 4.2 to compile and i added the following compiler flags: -debug=true -compiler.verbose-stacktraces i think these parameters should be enough but I may be wrong.

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?

Is there any way to get Flex Builder to connect to an existing browser session running Flash Player Debugger? I can connect to FDB like this, but with Builder I need to click Debug and rush to close the newly opened browser window before it loads the Flash file and then go back to the session I want to connect and right click it to start the debugger.
Unfortunately this is not very reliable as I can't always beat the window opening, requiring several attempts before being able to connect to the session I am interested in. If I could just tell Builder 'Start debugging' and then have it wait for the connection, I could now calmly go over to the browser, right click, hit debug, provide the IP and voila. This would allow me to inspect variables on a hard to replicate bug on a session running on a tester's computer.
