How to debug swf file

Hi,
Is there any way to debug the swf file? i am having a swf which is running on different server. i want to debug it from my system. Please let me know if anyone have the solution to debug the swf.
Thanks
Thilsen.

I cannot use firefox since the swf is running in different server.
that's not correct.
And integrated with .net application and ruuing in different devices.
makes no difference. unless it's an air app or exe, it runs in ff.
I used to trace but the problem is some times my swf (having multiple scnes) got stuck with unknow reason. Based on the variables which am getting from .net application am navaigating the scnenes.
trace still can pinpoint the problem.

How to use swf file for Spark Skin

Hi all
I have little confuse about how to use swf file with Spark Skin,
in Flex3 , i use Flex Skin Design Extension for Flash to deal with skin ,
so basically , I just create a swf file and import to the project , then everything is ok
but , seem that not working in flex4 , spark skin.
1` I can't find the Flex Skin Design for the FlashCs4
2` I try to use FlashCs3 version to import the skin art to the project , but seemed not working.
3` I Google and check the Flex4 Help , seemed Spak skin need the Skin-Class , which I don't know how to use that with swf file
what I have searched is how to use FXG , or some jpg file in that skin class, none of them are use swf file.
so , is there any way that let user use the swf file to deal with the skin?
is the Flex Skin Design can use in Flex4?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm new to Flex, but have come to it from Flash Pro. I'd like to know the same thing. I think I found the answer here:
http://www.flashallys.com/blog/spark-button-skinning-with-flash-symbols/
However my question is now: Is this a good approach to use?
99% of the googling I've done tells me to skin components with fxg files. I've tried that by creating graphics and exporting from flash, but using swfs containing lots of graphics is much faster so I'd rather use that.
The other thing I've done is to create custom components using these helpful tutorials:
Creating component in flash:
http://www.webkitchen.be/2008/12/12/video-tutorial-make-flex-components-with-flash-cs4/
Dealing with Resizing with method overrides for your flash component:
http://www.psyked.co.uk/flex/creating-flex-components-the-easy-way-for-flash-ide-converts. htm
This allows me the flexibility of Flash Pro design with the layout, transistions, data binding etc from Flex.
So my question is: Is this approach (skinning spark components with swfs, and using custom swc components made in flash) a bad idea for any reason? E.g. does it create slow mobile apps?
Cheers

How to get SWF files to play in Dreamweaver CS5

I designed an interactive memorial page for my company in flash catalyst 5.5. According to the tutorial, it should be simple to insert into a webpage in Dreamweaver. Insert, media, SWF.
When I try to preview it in internet explorer, there is a blank square where the object is supposed to be. I do get an Adobe Shockwave symbol in the center but that is all. My flash player and shockwave are both updated. I can't imagine what could be going on with this. I am fairly new to web development and have no formal training but my boss is growing impatient.
Please HELP!

Wow...more learning here I see. My goal at the moment is to start a root directory. As it stands now, I have only 1 set of files in the DW "sites and servers" (Remote ftp site) I am reading that I need to also have what I think is called a "root" directory where I keep all my images in my PC. I have never done this. I go to DW and add 1 picture at a time, whether in this new slide show or any images I want to insert. I usually go to my off site server, copy the http and insert.
I am reading that I need to create a local file (folder) on my PC that somehow "links" everything. So when I go to insert this image, it then transfers it to the remote server.
I am not even sure what a SWF file is. I think it is a code as you say that somehow has all the image names in it that eventually get inserted. Again, I am still learning.
In another thread in this forum I have been asking questions regarding the public_html issues. I have seemed to have solved that by adding this text into the "Host" file box in the server configuration. Never was there. Now I know why I had to always delete this tag.
I have a folder in my PC that contains the slide show pictures. I have an identical folder in my remote server. So it plays now in both DW preview and the live site. Now my issue is I am unable to add pictures. It is like I have "done" this particulat SWF file and that code wont allow me to "add" to it. Hard to say what the deal is. I can preview these 2 new images in DW and they are in my PC folder and he remote folder, but the live version is short these 2 images now. So my only thought is to make a brand new SWF file and start over adding one picture at a time.
I read your comments about how you do it, but it is still not sinking in. I do not understand this whole file upload thing, or this complete "package" transfer. In DW you start by making a flash media with a name. The you go and add 1 image to it at a time. I cannot see an option in the square box with the "F" logo where you can dump a whole slide show there.
I do not want to seem too dumb, as I try to grasp as best as possible, but if you can explain in specific steps, even if it is a "test" 2+ images slide show, it would help.
I am going to read the help files tonight because my first challange is to get a root folder added to DW. I think this is the utmost importance as I do not have one now. My files are scattered eveywhere in my PC. It is I "pick" images from everywhere to add to the website. Although my remote has all the images I am using (and plenty more i am not)
Hopefully, after 10 years of having this site given to me in DW format, I will start to understand it as time goes on. A gift from a Digipen student who had a task of building a website, which he made for me.

How to get swf file of any mxml file in flex1.5

hi all,
can anybody tell i have one mxml file now when i run this i
file server generate swf file dynemically ....now my requirement is
i need that swf file
so how can i get that swf file from which location i get this
file......
plz tell me aasp
thanks in advance

Rather than letting the server compile the SWF at request
time via the URL, you can pre-compile the SWF using MXMLC. Without
telling you anymore there's information in the docs and an article
on the Flex devnet about using MXMLC.

How to debug swc files in Flash CS5

Hi, to coin a familiar phrase "I'm new to Flash developement". My question is very simple. How do I debug .swc files (that I've created in Flash Builder 4) in Flash Professional CS5. I've incorporated the .swc file in the Publish Settings->Flash tab. But when I attempt to consume the objects in the .swc file I get an error saying it "Cannot display source code at this location."
Can someone tell me the best pratice for debugging .swc files. Do I debug them in Flash Builder or Adbobe Professional Flash CS5?

I think I found the solution to my problem..... but dont know how to implement it correctly.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/StageScal eMode.html#SHOW_ALL
I believe I need to use the SHOW_ALL constant, but there isn't an example of how to do it
Heres my code, it compiles without errors, but when I publish it as .exe I get the 'Error 1037: Package cannot be nested':
package
          import flash.display.StageScaleMode
          import flash.media.Camera;
          import flash.media.Video;
          public class ScaleMode
                    public static const SHOW_ALL:String = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
                    var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
                    if (camera != null) {
                              videoTwo.attachCamera(camera);
                    } else {
                              trace("You need a camera.");
          stop();
Any ideas??

How to debug rename file??

Hi
I use a loop and renameTo() method below to move some files to other location. When I run my class, it should move 5 files (vector include 5 files names), but insteade, some time it move 4 files , some time it move 3 files. there are no error message. Most time, last file cann't be moved
for( int i=0; i<newFiles.size(); i++ ){
File temfile=new File(tempFolder+"/"+newFiles.elementAt(i).toString());
File realfile=new File(destDir+"/"+newFiles.elementAt(i).toString());
boolean successful=temfile.renameTo(realfile);
newFiles is vector to include files name string.
I print out temfile and realfile , all of them are correct. May be somewhere else inside my class, other code, affect this , but I don't how to debug?? Thanks for help
Gary

You can try to catch Exception which could be raise be the methode "renameTo"
try {
boolean successful = temfile.renameTo(realfile);
} catch (Exception e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
You can hava SecurityException - If a security manager exists and its SecurityManager.checkWrite(java.io.FileDescriptor) method denies write access to either the old or new pathnames

How to cache swf files to reduce load time?

Hi,
We are using the XML data connection for our swf files. Some of our swf files are large and may take a minute to load. Is it possible to cache the swf files so they load in a shorter amount of time? If so, how would I go about doing this? Thanks!

Jim,
There is no option as such in Xcelsius.
We used SAP BI Query as a source for our dashboard and we had similar issue, we then cached the SAP BI Query to reduce the load time....it worked really very well!!
Try doing something similar in the source system...

How to play Swf files on the iPad??

Just as the title sated, how to play sef files on the iPad, since the iPad lack of flash support, and I don't find any program to handle with the swf files to playing on my iPad

Depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are out of luck if you want to play on-line (unless something like the iSwiffter app work with it), but again some of them have app versions in the store.

How to load swf files within another SWF and still maintain actionscript

Hi I was wondering how to embed an swf file inside another
swf file, If i simply import it to the stage or the library it will
become a symbol but the actionscript interactivity is lost, another
question is can I have an actionscript 2 file play within an
actionscript 3 file?
The actionscript 2 code for embedding is something like this:
don't mind the _mc titles
this.cargame_mc.onRelease = function (){
loadMovie ("Crusty Rusty's.swf", empty_mc)
empty_mc._xscale=60;
empty_mc._yscale=55;
empty_mc._x=210;
empty_mc._y=140;
Please Help its for my uni portfolio, i want to use as2, but
if i do i would lose the 3d possibility of as3, is there any way to
export an as3 file and then embed in as2, using a program or
anything? Thanks!I
I would just like to say thanks in advance because everyone
on here is so helpful!

you can load an as2 file into an as3 file (using the loader
class) and the actionscript will work in both.

How to play .swf files ?

I have some .swf files on my WIndows PC that I want to play.
The instructions on a website said to:
". . . play your flash files using the Adobe Standalone Flash
Player. For this you will first need to Download the Windows Flash
Player 9 Projector content debugger from the Adobe Site [Freeware].
There is NO installation needed. Just open the downloaded
.exe and open your .swf from within the Projector.
In order to associate all .swf files to open using the
Projector, right click the .swf file and "Open with" option. Once
there, choose the location of your Projector.exe and you are done."
This worked ONCE. The next time I logged on, the computer
could not play the files.
I'm thinking that this is because the programs referred to
were not running.
So - how do I (i) find the programs on my PC and then (ii)
create shortcuts so I can run them when I want ? I prefer not to
have them automatically load at startup.
Thank you.
Bob

Flash Player is a browser plugin. It's not designed to work as a standalone app for opening FLV or SWF. The standalone player EXE is a different animal.
Folks who don't own Flash Professional aren't going to have a standalone player.
For windows users, the Standalone player installer is in the archived players technote here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
However, it's not an application. It's just an EXE. You have to launch it, then use File> Open to open the local SWF. You can also keep it on your desktop and drag/drop SWF content to it.

How to cache swf files via browser

I notice that games on facebook ara caching lot's of swf files in browser temparary folder, I'm wondering how this is done, I'm new to web techs :> Somebody help? Thanks a lot.

AndrewYuCWA1987 wrote:
Thank U
but what i attend to do is:
- swf resource is need, and there're a lot
- they're on the server first
- when loading swf needed, access loacally file first, if there's none, get remote swf resource from server
- after load from remote, cache swf files locally for the next application runs
How can this be done?
all the above happens by default unless a user clears their cache or has not browser cache- which you can't control.
I met sand box issue when I apply URLRequest api, and I've looked into game's on facebook and other SNS platform, caching is the
common way to build a game, there's a "loader.swf?v=XXXX" there, and if I copy it to file system and run it, surely it's doing URLLoading and trigger a sand box trouble like I do, but when it's applied in the browser, or say in the way it's originally used, it worked,
So I doubt there's something I can do to implement the goal I've imagined, question is, how ) ;
appending a changing query string (?v=XXX) to a url is a common way to prevent browser caching by making the browser think each of those swfs are different by virtue of the changing query string.
